The question, in short
For the line y = −5x + 7, state its gradient and give the coordinates where it meets the y-axis.
Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.
Part (a) · 1 mark
State the gradient of the line y = −5x + 7.
- 1y = mx + c with m = −5, so gradient = −5
Answer−5
Part (b) · 1 mark
Find the coordinates of the point where y = −5x + 7 crosses the y-axis.
- 1When x = 0, y = −5 × 0 + 7 = 7
- 2Crosses the y-axis at (0, 7)
