for a)

#

first we need to figure out the gradient of l2

#

to do this we find the gradient of l1 and do something to it

woven maple
#

inverse the mf

#

and find the point it crosses through

#

where the x coordinate is 4

#

so we can find the y coordinate

surreal star
#

yeah

woven maple
#

5y-10=2(4)

#

5y=18

#

y=18/5

surreal star
#

yh

woven maple
#

y = 2x/5 -2

#

so the gradient is now

#

-5/2

surreal star
#

yh

#

oh u wanted the 2nd question mb

woven maple
#

and then do you use the equation (y1-y) = m (x1-x)

#

mhm

surreal star
#

or y = mx + c whichever u prefer

woven maple
#

tbf i dont know how to finish the first question

#

do i just say y = -5/2 x +c

surreal star
#

nah now you gotta find c

#

any idea how to do that?

woven maple
#

sub in both your x and y

#

y = -5/2x +c

#

18/5 = -5/2(4) +c

surreal star
#

yh

woven maple
#

c = 68/5

surreal star
#

y

woven maple
#

so now we have 4x + 5/2 y + 68/5 = 0

#

no -5/2y

#

how do i get that into a quadratic

surreal star
#

quadratic ๐Ÿ’€

woven maple
#

what am i missing ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

OH NV,

#

you just sub in both lines

#

where x = 0

#

both equations even

#

and then you have all 3 coordinates

surreal star
#

wait

#

how did you get 4x

woven maple
#

given to us in the question

#

no its just x innit

#

not 4x

surreal star
#

y = -5/2x+ 68/5
5/2x + y - 68/5 = 0
25x + 10y - 136 = 0

#

i got this

woven maple
#

but my thought process for the second question
