In the diagram, the equation of the line • through B and C is 6x + 7y = 42 • through A and B is y = x/5 [Figure 21.1]
- (a)The region inside triangle ABC is defined by three inequalities. One of these is y > x/5. Write down the other two inequalities.[2]
- (b)The line y = kx passes through triangle ABC. Find all the possible integer values of k.[2]
