M1400A Tutorial 8 (Graphs) October 2024

1. The graph of a straight line P passes through points (-1, 3) and (5, -6).

(a) Find the gradient of line P.


(b) Find the y-intercept of line P.
(c) Write down the equation of line P.

2. A straight line with gradient m = 2.5 passes through point (1, 3).

(a) What is the y-intercept of the line? (b) Write down the equation of the line.

3. Find the equation of the straight line K that passes through (-103, 4) and is parallel
to line y + 3 = 0. What is the slope of K ?
