TopicStraight Lines & Coordinate Geometry
TypePerpendicular line through point
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a standard C1 coordinate geometry question requiring finding perpendicular gradient (-1/m), writing line equation through a point, finding x-intercept, and calculating area using trapezium formula. All techniques are routine textbook exercises with no novel insight required, making it slightly easier than average but still requiring multiple steps and careful algebra.

\end{figure} The points \(P ( 0,2 )\) and \(Q ( 3,7 )\) lie on the line \(l _ { 1 }\), as shown in Figure 2.
