ECZ 2020 · O-Level Paper 1 — Coordinate Geometry

P is the point (3, 1) and Q is another point such that the gradient of the line PQ is -12. Write down the equation of PQ.

  • A. 2y = x + 5
  • B. y = -2x + 5
  • C. 2y = -x + 5
  • D. 2y = -x - 5

Verified working — step 1

Using y - y₁ = m(x - x₁): y - 1 = -12(x - 3). Multiply by 2: 2y - 2 = -x + 3, so 2y = …
