IB MATH AA SL, Paper 1, May, 2022, TZ1, Solved Past Paper
Master the 2022 IB May for Paper 1 Mathematics AA SL with examiner tailored solutions and comments for TZ1
Question 1 [Explained]
Given three points (A(-2, 20)), (B(4, 6)), and (C(-14, 12)), we need to find a line (L) that passes through point A and is perpendicular to the line segment BC.
Simply put, we are looking for the equation of a line that intersects point A and forms a right angle with the line segment joining points B and C.
Question 1 [a] [Explanation]
Reformulate the question to identify the mathematical equation of the line (L).
In simple terms, the question is asking for the specific formula or mathematical representation that describes the line referred to as (L). This involves determining the relationship between the variables that define the line's behavior or position.

Question 1 [b] [Explanation]
The line L passes through the point ((k, 2)).
Determine the value of (k).
This question asks you to find the value of the variable (k) such that the line L goes through the given point ((k, 2)). The main focus is on identifying the value of (k) that ensures the line intersects the specified point on the graph.
