Hello & welcome to my website!!!!!

The question on the line appears on Paper 2 of the Leaving Certificate Paper.  It is a really easy question to do well in and I think that you would be foolish not to attempt it at least!  I have to say that there are quite a lot of formulae in it but they are relatively simple to learn & easy to use!  The best way to learn something is to understand it first.  You will find as you browse the site that every question shows the various steps in answering it correctly.  I would be very grateful if you could take a couple of minutes at the end of your visit and fill in my feedback form - no matter what you think of the site! Thanks!!

 

What you SHOULD know before you start!

I'm hoping you know that when we talk about geometry we are dealing with co-ordinates - (x,y) (which are points)!  We say that the point (3,5) has an x-value of 3 & a y-value of 5. When I explain the questions I will write them as follows:   

 (3,5)      

    (-4 ,6)  

    (x1,y1)    

    (x2,y2)
