(b) 3x - 2y = -11

(20 pts.)

2. The straight line y = mx + c passes through the points (-2,-3) and (4, 9).
Find the value of m and c and hence write down the particular equation
that represents the straight line.
(20 pts.)

3. Draw axes for X and Y from -5 to 7. Draw  ABC with A (-3, 2), B (1, 2),
and C (1, 5). Translate  ABC using the vector . Label this image

A'B'C'. Then translate  A'B'C' using the vector . Label this new
image A''B''C''.
(20 pts.)

4. A teacher kept a record of the length of time that 90 students were late for
class. The results were shown in the following frequency distribution
table:

Minutes late 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
No. of Students 4 8 10 8 15 20 15 10

(a) State the mode of the distribution


(b) Calculate the median of the distribution

(d) Calculate the total time lost by the students
(e) Calculate, to the nearest minute, the mean time lost per student

was late

(i) by exactly 5 minutes


(ii) by AT LEAST 5 minutes

(20 pts.)
