Question 1 Determine the slope for line 2x+12y-6=0 2x+12y=6 12y=-2x+6 y=-2x/12+6/12 y=-x/6+1/2 ∴m=-1/6 Find the slope of the required line‚ which is "m" (-1/6)("m" )=-1 (m)=6 Now‚ substitute m=6 into equation y=mx+c ‚i.e. y=6x+c. This line passed through point (2‚4). So‚ we substitute x=2‚y=4 into y=6x+c. 4=6(2)+c 4-12=c c=-8 ∴ The equation of the straight line that we are looking for is y=6x-8
