| Topic | Straight Lines & Coordinate Geometry |
| Type | Line intersections with axes |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.8 This is a straightforward application of y = mx + c requiring students to find the equation of a line from gradient and a point, then find two intercepts by substituting x=0 and y=0. It's slightly easier than average as it involves only routine algebraic manipulation with no problem-solving or conceptual challenges. |
| Spec | 1.03a Straight lines: equation forms y=mx+c, ax+by+c=0 |
A line has gradient $-4$ and passes through the point $(2, 6)$. Find the coordinates of its points of intersection with the axes. [4]
