Question 9

The line $l_1\,$ has the equation $5 y - 10 = 2 x$ The point $P\,$ with $x\,$ coordinate 4 lies on $l_1$ . The line $l_2\,$ is perpendicular to $l_1\,$ and passes through the point $P$ .

a.

Find an equation for $l_2\,$ in the form $a x + b y + c = 0$

[4]

b.

The lines $l_1\,$ and $l_2\,$ cross the $x\,$ axis at the points $Q\,$ and $R\,$ respectively.

Calculate the area of the triangle $QP R$ .
