Straight Line (P2)
Straight Line (P2)
1. Find the gradient and y-intercept of the lines with the following equations. Sketch the graph
(use Square Grid Book) in each case, taking care to show where the graph cuts the y-axis.

a. 𝑦 = 4 − 4 𝑥
b. 2𝑥 − 3𝑦 = −9
2. Find an equation for each line.
a.
b.
3. Calculate the gradient of the line that passes through both points in each case. Leave your
answer as a whole number or a fraction in its lowest terms.
a. 𝐴(3, 2) and 𝐵(7, −10)
b. 𝐴(−1, −4) and 𝐵(−3, 2)
4. Find the equation of the straight line that has a gradient of −3 and goes through the point
(−3, −10)
5. Find the equation of a line that parallel to 𝑦 = 3𝑥 + 6 and passes through the point (2, −3)

6. Find the equation of the line that perpendicular to 2𝑥– 𝑦– 1 = 0 and passing through (2, − 2)
7. Use the graph to find the length (distance) and the midpoint of each line segment.
