You can put this solution on YOUR website!
parallel and perp questions with reference to co-ordinate geometry.... the thing to remember:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if 2 lines are parallel, their gradients are equal
\n" ); document.write( "if 2 lines are perp, then we know that mn=-1, where m and n are the 2 gradients.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, you will be given 2 points from which to find a gradient, then the Q will ask for a parallel line (so same gradient) or perp line (so mn=-1 and then find its gradient).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Q will then give you another point...you know (x,y) and gradient so you can find y-intercept...Voila, done!\r
