  1. Straight Line From a suggestion by Mark Richards (Lancaster Girls Grammar School) who got it from Bernard Murphy (MEI)

  2. Straight Line ? The point ? has coordinates (?,?) Find, in terms of ?, the area of the red triangle. 7 Find, in terms of ?, the area of the blue triangle. Find the numerical area of the triangle which is red and blue. ? ?,? Hence find an equation linking ? and ?. What is the equation of the line? ? 6 (not to scale)

  3. Straight Line ? 1 2?? area of the red triangle: 1 2?? area of the blue triangle: ? 1 2?? area of the red and blue triangle: ? ?,? ? 1 2?? +1 2?? =1 equating areas: 2?? ?? + ?? = ?? ? = ? equation of the line: ? ?? + ? ?? = ?? + ?? ?? + ?? = ?? ? ? (not to scale)
