So in the first pic, only the value of a is correct.

Notice (7,c)(7,c)

is on the x axis, so what must c be?

For the coordinate of b, look across to a point along the line.

For the Q in the second pic, note that the product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

Do you need help with questions 4 and 6 on the 3rd image? Not sure if you need help on those or if they just ended up being in the pic when you tried to take a pic of the middle q. :smile:

For q 4 rearrange the equation to make y the subject, then you should be able to manage from there.

See what it is directly below?
And what it's y coordinate must be as it is on the axis?

It is below Point B?
and the y coordinate must be 0? :s-smilie:

So N is (2,0)? :confused:

AC = 8?
Area of ABC = 16?
BC = 5?

are the above correct? :s-smilie:

I don't know how to do the length of AM.

Yes they are all correct :smile:
You know the area of the triangle. were you to rotate the page to make BC the base, would this affect the area of the triangle?
