TopicStraight Lines & Coordinate Geometry
TypeParallel line through point
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a straightforward coordinate geometry question requiring only two standard steps: identify the gradient from the given line (m = -3/2), then use y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) with the given point. It's routine textbook material with no problem-solving element, making it easier than average.
Spec1.03a Straight lines: equation forms y=mx+c, ax+by+c=01.03b Straight lines: parallel and perpendicular relationships

A line has equation \(3x + 2y = 6\). Find the equation of the line parallel to this which passes through the point \((2, 10)\). [3]

AnswerMarks Guidance
\(3x + 2y = 26\) or \(y = -1.5x + 13\) isw3 marks M1 for \(3x + 2y = c\) or \(y = -1.5x + c\); M1 for subst \((2, 10)\) to find \(c\) or for or \(y - 10 =\) their gradient \(\times (x - 2)\)
$3x + 2y = 26$ or $y = -1.5x + 13$ isw | 3 marks | M1 for $3x + 2y = c$ or $y = -1.5x + c$; M1 for subst $(2, 10)$ to find $c$ or for or $y - 10 =$ their gradient $\times (x - 2)$
