| Topic | Straight Lines & Coordinate Geometry |
| Type | Line intersections with axes |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward coordinate geometry question requiring only basic algebraic manipulation to find axis intercepts (set x=0, then y=0) and rearrangement to y=mx+c form to read off the gradient. These are routine C1 skills with no problem-solving element, making it easier than average but not trivial since it requires correct execution of standard procedures. |
| Spec | 1.03a Straight lines: equation forms y=mx+c, ax+by+c=0 |
2 (i) Find the points of intersection of the line $2 x + 3 y = 12$ with the axes.\\
(ii) Find also the gradient of this line.
