| Topic | Straight Lines & Coordinate Geometry |
| Type | Line intersections with axes |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.8 This is a straightforward coordinate geometry question requiring students to find the equation of a parallel line (same gradient -2), substitute the point to find the y-intercept, then find two axis intercepts. All steps are routine applications of standard techniques with no problem-solving insight needed, making it easier than average but not trivial. |
| Spec | 1.03a Straight lines: equation forms y=mx+c, ax+by+c=01.03b Straight lines: parallel and perpendicular relationships |
The line $L$ is parallel to $y = -2x + 1$ and passes through the point $(5, 2)$.
Find the coordinates of the points of intersection of $L$ with the axes. [5]
