Questions:

Q1. Write down the gradient and y intercept of the following lines:
(a) 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 1
m = 2, y-int = -1
(b) 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 1
m = 1, y-int = -1
(c) 𝑦 = 2 − 3𝑥
m = -3, y-int = 2

Q2. Complete the following table:

(a) Write down a point that lies in the 1st (2,5)


quadrant

(b) Write down a point that lies in the 3rd (-4, -11)
quadrant

(c) Write down a point that lies on the x-axis (15, 0)

Q3 Find the equation of line AB if A and B are the points (0, 6) and (3, 0)

y-int = 6 since the line passes through (0,6)


0−6 −6
𝑚= 3−0
= 3
=− 2
∴ the equation of AB is y = -2x + 6
Q4. Find out the equation following 3 lines:

Red (Top): y = 3
Green (Middle): y = -x + 3
1
Blue (Bottom): y = 2
𝑥−2

Q5. Consider the line 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 5:


a) rearrange the equation to slope-intercept form by making y the subject
b) find the y-intercept
c) find the x-intercept

a) 3y = -2x + 5
2 5
y=− 3
𝑥+ 3
b) x = 0
5 5
y=0+ 3
= 3
c) y =0
2x + 0 = 5 (the original equation)
5
x= 2

Q6. Solve the system of equations by substitution. You also need to simplify your answer to
the simplest form.
Eq.2 x 2:
2x + 2y = -16

Eq.1 + Eq.2 x 2:
5x + 0 = -10
x = -2
Sub x = -2 into Eq. 2
-2 + y = -8
y = -6

∴ (-2, -6) is the solution.

Q7. Show that each of these points lies on the line 𝑦 = 2 − 5𝑥.

a) A(0, 2)
b) B(5, -23)
c) C(2k-1, 7-10k)

a) when x = 0, y = 2 - 5(0) = 2, ∴ (0, 2) is on the line


b) when x = 5, y = 2 - 5(5) = 2 - 25 = -23, ∴ (5, -23) is also on the line
c) when x = 2k-1,
y = 2 - 5(2k-1)
= 2 - 10k + 5
= 7 - 10k
∴ (2k-1, 7-10k) does lie on the line

Q8. Solve the system of equations and leave your answer in the simplest form:

Simplify the two equations first:


Eq1: x + 2 + 3 = 3(y-x)
x + 5 = 3y - 3x
4x - 3y = 5 … (1)

Eq2: 3x - 3 + y = 1
3x + y = 4 … (2)

From (2) y = 4 - 3x
Sub that into (1)
4x - 3(4-3x) = 5
4x - 12 + 9x = 5
13x = 17
17
x= 13
17 52−51 1
∴ y = 4 - 3( 13 )= 13
= 13
17 1
∴ ( 13 , 13
) 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

[extra] Q9. Find the equation of the line that passes through (2, 5) and (-4, 7)

Let the equation be y = mx + b

Since (2, 5) is on the line, 5 = 2m + b …. (1)


Since (-4, 7) is on the line, 7 = -4m + b …. (2)

(2) - (1) elimination method


2 = -6m
1
m=- 3
Sub that into (1)
1 2
5 = 2(- 3 ) + b, b = 5 3
1 2
∴ the equation is y = - 3
x+53
