I got another question :
A is the point (0, 2).
(i) The equation of the line AB may be written 3y + 4x = k.
Find the value of k.
Answer is 6.
(ii) Find the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.
For this..how do you find the coordinates of B from the equation?

(i) 3y+ 4x= k
so place x= 0 and y= 2
than we get k=6

The price of a camera in the sale was $60.
Calculate its marked price if the goods were reduced by 20%?
x - (20/100)x = 60

solve this equation it will giv u the answer. here x is the original price. wen 20% will be reduced out of it, sale price will equal to 60.
umm did u understand?

Well you wind mid point of any line by , y2+y1/2 x2+x1/2

you can find b as you now know what the k is , You know that the graidet is -4/3 .Just replace one random number of X and youll get your Y and hence you can use the formula to answer it . If you want ill answer it on the forums for you . :)

3y=-4x+6
Y=-4/3x + 2

Replace x with 3
Y= -4/3 (3) + 2
Y = -4+2
Y = - 2
so B is (3 ,-2)

but i just realized something , B can be of any value and for different value of B mid point would differ. hmm so this cant be applied . :)

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL THE YEAR AND QUESTION NUMBER OF THE QUESTION .
