Find the equation of the line that passes through the (4,6) and (9,-4)

First write out the general equation, y = mx + c where m = gradient and c = the Y-interceptFind the gradient m= change in y/change in xM= (-4,-6)/(9-4) = (-10)/(5) = -2Find c by substituting in either of the coordinates into the equation.y= -2x + c6= -2(-4) + c6= -8 + c6 + 8 = c = 14Therefore the equation is y = -2x + 14

How do I solve this linear equation? Angles A and B are in a quadrilateral are in ratio 2:3, angle C is 30 degrees more than angle B and angle D is 90 degrees.


Expand the following brackets, (6x^2-4)(2x+3)


Factorise x^2-25


A linear sequence starts a + 2b, a + 6b, a + 10b … The 2nd term has value 8 The 5th term has value 44 Work out the values of a and b.
