guys i have a question even though its sounds easy, it always give me a hard time, so its about coordinate geometry
from year: 1996 paper 1 question 6
The equation of a straight line l, is 6x-2y+1=0
a). write this equation in the form y=mx+c

I can never re-arrange and make it to that equation above. give me some helpful explanantion too

thanks
hey zainab...

6x-2y+1=0
-2y+6x = 0-1
-2y=-6x -1
y=-6x/-2 -1/-2
y= 3x + 1/2

this is quite easy first find the intersection points(only x coordinates) of the line and the curve and then after that differentiate the curves equation and put the x coordinates to find the gradients at those positions :p for now i told u how to do it looking at the ques i think u have a problem differentiating the curves equation but ill leave it for u to ask,and please ask if u dont get it still :D
