| Topic | Straight Lines & Coordinate Geometry |
| Type | Parallel line through point |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward two-part question testing basic coordinate geometry: rearranging to find gradient (or using -A/B), then using the parallel line condition (same gradient) and y-intercept form to find an x-intercept. Both parts are routine recall and application of standard techniques with minimal problem-solving required. |

5 (i) Find the gradient of the line $4 x + 5 y = 24$.\\
(ii) A line parallel to $4 x + 5 y = 24$ passes through the point $( 0,12 )$. Find the coordinates of its point of intersection with the $x$-axis.
