    4) Doesnt work. 2 - 12 + 7 doesnt = 0

    equation of a line is ..... y - y1 = m (x - x1)

    therefor, 5-7 / -4 - 2 = m so m = -2 / -6 --> m = 1/3

    y - 7 = 1/3 (x - 2)
    y = 1/3x + 7 - 2/3

    y = 1/3x + 6 1/3


    someone corect me if i am wrong

    edit: not wrong, check with one of the points you are given

    ok
    5 b) center of line PQ is (-1,6) so..

    m1m2 = -1 ............ m1 = 1/3

    1/3 x m2 = -1
    m2 = -1/.333
    m2 = -3

    y - y1 = m(x - x1)
    y - 6 = -3 (x - -1)
    y = -3 (x + 1) + 6
    y = -3x -3 + 6

    y = -3x + 3


    substitute in (-1,6)



    the last one doesnt make sense to me

    Read the question. (2,3) lies on the perpendicular, not on the line x - 4y + 7 = 0.

    Don't correct me until u read the question. It doesn't say lies, it's the point on that line. U need the point 2,3 to work for both otherwise u can't work it out. I just finihed my AS course and I know what I'm on about
