Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

is parallel to the -axis, and is parallel to the -axis.

Hint 2

The solution is the point where the two lines cross.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Draw both lines on the same axes:

    • is a vertical line through , passing through points such as .
    • is a horizontal line through , passing through points such as .
    1 mark

  2. The two lines intersect at . Hence the solution is .

    1 mark

Answer: x = 3, y = −4 (lines meet at (3, −4))

Where the marks are

  • Correct graphs of both lines, vertical and horizontal (1 mark)
  • Reads the intersection point and states (1 mark)
