A line L is parallel to y=4x+5 and passes through the point (-1, 6). Find the equation of the line L in the form y=ax+b . Find also the coordinates of its intersections with the axes.

Since L is parallel to y=4x+5 we know that the two lines have the same gradient. The gradient of a line in the form y=ax+b has is a, which means the gradient of y=4x+5 is 4, so L is y=4x+b and we just need t...

Find the general solution for the determinant of a 3x3 martix. When does the inverse of this matrix not exist?

Let M be a 3x3 matrix s.t. M= |a b c| |g h i| |d e f| Then Det(M)= a(Det(e,f,h,i))-b(Det(d,f,g,i))+c(Det(d,e,g,h). Given that the determinant of a 2x2 matrix such as (e,f,h,i) is = ei-fh. The solution is; De...
