Q1. (a) How can you tell that the equation x = -2 has no real solution without actually going through a
1/4
solution process?
(b) Let f(x) = 2x2-6x. If h represents any nonzero number, then the quotient
represents the slope of the line through (x, f(x)) and (x+h, f(x+h)). Find and simplify the quotient.
(c) Suppose y is directly proportional to x , and x is replaced by (1/3)x , what happens to y?

(b) Find the equation in standard form of the line through the point (i) (3,-1) and parallel to x-2y = 4 (ii)
through the point (-3,4) and perpendicular to y = 4x+6.
