Vectors - Intersection of Two Lines

Secondary 3

In the diagram, \(C\) is the point \((0,15)\) and \(B\) is the point \((0,5)\).

The sloping line through \(C\) and the horizontal line through \(B\) meet at point \(A\).

  1. Write down the equation of the line \(AB\).
  2. Given that the gradient of the line \(AC\) is \(2\), find the equation of the line \(AC\).
  3. Calculate the coordinates of the point \(A\).
