Given point A: (5,9), point B: (d,15) and the gradient of line AB is 3... what is the value of d?

First use the gradient equation for a line: difference in y over difference in x:dy/dx = gradienttherefore: (15-9)/(d-5) = 315-9=3(d-5)6=3d-1521=3dtherefore d = 7

The equation the line L1 is y=3x-2 and the equation of line L2 is 3y-9x+5=0. Show that these two lines are parallel.


Solve the simultaneous equations: x + 2y = 13, 4x - 3y = 8.


Factorise and Solve x^2 + 10x + 15 = -6


Solve 7x-4=8+5x
