Plot the line that passes through the point (1, -1) with a gradient of -2 on the grid.
[3 marks]3.
Calculate the equation of the line passing through (0, 5) with a gradient of 3.
[2 marks]4.
Construct a line on the grid that passes through (2, 3) and has a gradient of -1/2.
[3 marks]5.
Write the equation of a line passing through (4, -2) with a gradient of 0 (horizontal line).
[2 marks]6.
Plot the line passing through (-1, 0) with gradient 2/3 on the grid.
[3 marks]7.
Find the equation of the line that passes through (5, 7) and has a gradient of -3.
