The coordinates of P and Q are (0, 3) and (15, 12) respectively.

- (a)
Find the equation of PQ.
- (b)
Find the perimeter of trapezium OPQR, where O is the origin and R is the point of reflection of Q along the x-axis.
It won't just hand you the answer — it asks where you're stuck.How the checker works
Worked solution
19(a)
1. Find the gradient of $PQ$ using the two coordinates.
For and ,
2. Use the y-intercept to write the equation of the line.
Since lies on the y-axis, the y-intercept is .
Using ,
19(b)
1. Find the coordinates of R after reflecting Q in the x-axis.
.
Reflection in the -axis changes to .
So .
2. Find the lengths of the four sides of trapezium OPQR.
and , so
.
and , so
and , so
.
and , so
3. Add the side lengths to find the perimeter.
Perimeter of
