A straight line L1 has equation y = 2x + 4. L2 is parallel to L1 and passes through the point (3,13). What is the equation of L2?

Firstly, If L2 is parallel to L1, the gradient of L1 = L2. If we then take the generic equation of any straight line to be: y = mx + c, the m (gradient) of any two parall...

How would you work out the price of a trip if it is usually £24 but a man has a railcard that gives him 30% off?

In order to work out 30% off something you can use two methods. I'll explain both.

Method one:

  1. Work out 30% of the total price. This would be the same as working out 10% (dividing by 1...

Factorize x^2 + 4x -5 and hence find the roots of the quadratic equation y = x^2 + 4x - 5.

First, identify the integer factors of the constant. In this case -5, has factors -1,5 and 1,-5. Now check to see if the sum of either pair is equal to the value of the coefficient of x. In this case, the...

Solve simultaneous equations x + y = 3 and -3x + 5y = 7

The first equation can be multiplied by 3 to give 3x + 3y = 9. Then these two equations can be added by summing both left hand sides and both right hand sides to obtain the new equation 3x + 3y - 3x + 5y ...
