3. A straight line passes through the points P (1, -2) and Q (5, -14).
a. What are the coordinates of the midpoint of PQ?
b. The gradient of PQ is?
5. Plot the points (1, 2) and (4, 5), on a graph and join them with a ruler and
extend both ways. This is the line y = x + 1.
a. Write down the coordinates of three other points on this line
b. for each of the points selected, check that y = x + 1
6. Plot each of these points and (label them) A (-3, 0), B (1, -2), C (3, 1) and D
(0, 3). Join A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A. What shape do you get?
7. (a) Draw the line segment joining the points (4,7) and (5, -1).
(b) Draw the line segment joining the points (-1, 3) and (0, -5).
(c) Calculate the gradient of each line.
(d) Are these lines parallel?
