How would you work out the equation of the normal at a point (2,5) given the equation of a line?

You are given the equation of a line in the form of y=mx+c. From this, you know that 'm' represents the gradient, which can also be represented as dy/dx. We now need to work out the gradient of the normal...

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

In this question, you are being asked to show L1 and L2 are parallel. The equations of two parallel lines will have the same gradient. This is the number in front of the x term in the equation, but to com...

log3 (9y + b) – log3 (2y – b) = 2, Find y in terms of b.

Use laws of logarithms to simplify.Log3((9y+b)/(2y-b)) = 2(9y+b)/(2y-b) = 32(9y+b) = 9(2y-b)9y+b = 18y-9bCollect terms.9y = 10by = 10b/9
