  1. On the same axes, sketch the curves with equations, \(y=\left| \frac{ax-3a+2}{3-x} \right|\) and \(y=\frac{a}{3}x\), where \(a>1\), giving the equations of the asymptotes and the coordinates of the points where the curves meet the axes.[3]
  2. Hence, solve the inequality \(\left| \frac{ax-3a+2}{3-x} \right|>\frac{a}{3}x\), giving your answer in terms of \(a\).[3]
