| Topic | Straight Lines & Coordinate Geometry |
| Type | Parallel line through point |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward single-step application of the parallel lines property (same gradient) requiring only substitution into y = mx + c. It's significantly easier than average A-level questions, involving minimal calculation and no problem-solving beyond recognizing that parallel lines share the same gradient. |
| Spec | 1.03a Straight lines: equation forms y=mx+c, ax+by+c=01.03b Straight lines: parallel and perpendicular relationships |
1 Find, in the form $y = a x + b$, the equation of the line through $( 3,10 )$ which is parallel to $y = 2 x + 7$.
