Question 10
A straight line, L, is parallel to the line with equation y=2-5 x
The line L passes through the point (0,6)
Find an equation of the line L
Edexcel IGCSE Math A Higher 3.3.HG parallel and perpendicular lines
Practise parallel-line questions by extracting the gradient, changing it when perpendicular and substituting a point to find the intercept.
How this is tested
- Use the same gradient for a line parallel to the given straight line equation.
- Use the negative reciprocal gradient when a perpendicular line is required.
- Substitute the given point into y = mx + c to find the line's intercept.
