Sorry,

ab[input_,rcAB_,ax_,ay_] := rcAB*input + ay - rcAB*ax;

I hope I did not forget anything else. I need the derivative because it 
gives me the maximum or minimum answer for Cone for each beta, and that is 
needed for further steps in my project.

The code itself works quite well. Tested it extensively on cones, and double 
checked te answers. Also checked if the maximums were where they were 
supposed to be, and that also checked out.

A picture of an example is at:
