a) x=p, y=p+23(p)−4(p+2)+5=03p−4p+8=0−p+8=0p=8
b) There are a few ways to do this. I'd rewrite the equation for AB as
3x−4y+5=04y=3x+5y=34s+54and you can read the gradient right off as m=34
c) The key here is that the product of the slopes over perpendicular lines is -1.
mAC=k−2−5−1=−k−26we know from (a) that mAB=34mAC⋅mAB=−1−k−26⋅34=−13k−624=13k=30k=10
d)
