24. Answer the whole of this question on a sheet of graph paper.

Variables x and y are related by the equation y = −3 x + 6.5 .

The table below shows some corresponding values of x and y.

x −3 −1 .5 0 1.5 3
y 15.5 r 6.5 2 s

(a) Calculate the values of r and s. [2]

(b) Using a scale of 2 cm to represent 1 unit on the x-axis and 1 cm to represent 1 unit
on the y-axis, draw the graph of y = −3 x + 6.5 . [3]

Hence, use your graph to find

(i) the value of y when x = −1.7 , [1]
(ii) the value of x when y = −1 . [1]

(c)(i) On the same axes, draw the graph of y = 8 . [1]

(ii) Hence, write down the coordinates of the point of intersection of the graphs of
y = −3 x + 6.5 and y = 8 . [1]
