=================
a)the point on the y-axis that is colinear with the point of intersection, P, if the line has a gradient of 2.
------------
Step 1, find the point of intersection of the 2 lines, call it point Q.
Step 2, find the equation of the line thru point Q with a slope of 2.
=============================================
b)the general equation of a line passing through P and (3,-5)
----
Step 1, find the slope, m.
Step 2, use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
