Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward coordinate geometry question requiring students to find the gradient of a line from two points, convert the given line to gradient form, and compare. It involves only basic algebraic manipulation and the standard formula m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁), with no problem-solving insight needed beyond routine application of techniques.
2. You must show detailed working in this question
Determine whether the line with equation \(2 x + 3 y + 4 = 0\) is parallel to the line through the points with coordinates \(( 9,4 )\) and \(( 3,8 )\). [0pt]
