(I) The line 2y = X + 4 is drown on the grid.

(a)On the grid, draw the line X +y+2=0.

(b)The region R is represented by these three inequalities.

2y ≥X + 4
X + y+ 2≥ 0
y≤ 2
On the grid, shade and label the region R.

(ii) Line L is perpendicular to the line 2y = X + 4

Line L passes through the point (1,8).

Show that the equation of the line L is y = 10 - 2X

(iii)Use an algebraic method to find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the
Lines 2y = X + 4 and y = 23 - 2X
