(iii) 90 . 5
(3 marks)
2 The equation of a straight line is y = 2x − 6 .
Write down:
(i) the gradient of the line,
(ii) the coordinates of the point where the line intercepts the y-axis,
(iii) the coordinates of the point where the line intercepts the x-axis.

, 3 (a) It has often been said, to avoid relegation from football’s Premier League, teams should aim
to score at least 40 points in a season. Each team plays 38 games, a win is rewarded with 3
points and a draw with 1 point. No points are awarded for a loss.
Using W and D as the number of wins and draws respectively, write down an inequality
describing the number of points a team should aim for to avoid relegation.
(2 marks)
(b) Another condition on W and D is W + D ≤ 38 .
(i) Briefly explain why this second condition arises.
(ii) Explain why W ≥ 0 and D ≥ 0 must also be conditions.
