ABCD is a regular paralleogram, A=(2,1) B=(7,2) and C=(4,6), work out the gradient of the line CD and then work out the area of ABCD.

As its a parallelogram the gradient of CD will be the same as the gradient of AB so you just need to work out the gradient of AB using the formula (y 2 -y 1 )/(x 2 -x 1 ) which would be (2-1)/(7-2)= 1/5 or 0...

Show that the following 2 lines are parallel: l1: 3y=15x+17 l2: 7y+5=35x

Both of these lines are straight lines since they only have x and y to powers of 1; and constants. Straight lines can be defined if two parameters are known, the gradient and the y-intercept. For two lines t...

R and B are directly proportional variables. When R = 9, B = 3. What does R equal when B = 14?

R and B are directly proportional variables. Therefore, we can write a relationship between them as R = kB where k is a proportionality constant. We can rearrange this equation to calculate the value of k: R...
