Mr. Kenny will go through the first of these questions during the grind. If time permits, he will then go through the second question. And so on.
Any remaining questions are left for you to practice with!
(a) Graph the following linear function:
\begin{align}f(x) = 2x+3\end{align}

Any remaining questions are left for you to practice with!
Let \(\Delta ABC\) be a triangle. If a line \(l\) is parallel to \(BC\) and cuts \([AB]\) in the ratio \(s : t\), then it also cuts \([AC]\) in the same ratio.
The proof will be shown during the grind!
