The straight line L1 passes through the points with coordinates (4, 6) and (12, 2) The straight line L2 passes through the origin and has gradient -3. The lines L1 and L2 intersect at point P. Find the coordinates of P.

Find equation of line 1 in terms of x. eg y=mx+c - Using gradient and points. Equation of line 2 is just y=-3xSo -3x=mx+c of line 1Find xSub into one equation to find the y point.Done

A ball, dropped vertically, falls d metres in t seconds. d is directly proportional to the square of t. The ball drops 45 metres in the first 3 seconds. How many metres does the ball drop in the next 7 seconds?

d = kt2. 45 = k x 32. 45 = k x 9 (/9). 5 = k.3+7 = 10 seconds total as we are investigating the NEXT 7 seconds. d = kt2. d = 5 x 102. d = 5 x 100d = 500m in 10 ...
