2) Sketch the graphs of y against x and, where possible, solve:

a) y  5x  5 b) y 5 c) x 5
y  6x  5 y  6x y  6x

d) y  4x  5 e) y  4x  5 f) y  4x  5
y  4.1x  5.1 y  4.01x  5.1 y  4x  5.1
3)
a) For what value of a do the equations

y  3x  7  0
6 x  ay  3  0

have no solutions?

b) For what value of b do the equations

y  3x  b  0
6 x  2y  3  0

have infinite solutions?

4) I think of two numbers. If I add them together I get eight. If I multiply one of them by
four and the other by two and then add them, I get twenty-two. What are the
numbers?

5) I’ve got pigs and chickens on my farm but I won’t tell you how many I have. But I will
tell you how many legs they have. There are twenty-two legs. I will tell you how
many heads there are too. There are eight heads, all looking at me. Now you tell me
how many pigs I have and how many chickens I have got.

6) At my café, cakes cost four pounds and sandwiches are two pounds. Eight people
come to my café and they all have either a cake or a sandwich. At the end of the day
I have made twenty-two pounds. How many cakes and how many sandwiches did I
sell?

7) One line has gradient  2 and goes through the point 0 , 3 . Another line goes
