A small business rents office space. The monthly rental cost, C dollars, is modelled by a linear function of the floor area, A square metres. For a floor area of 40m2, the monthly rental cost is USD 1200. For a floor area of 100m2, the monthly rental cost is USD 2400.
(a)
Show that the equation of the line relating C and A is C=20A+400. [3 marks]
(b)
Find the monthly rental cost for an office with a floor area of 75m2. [1 mark]
(c)
The business has a monthly rental budget of USD 2000. Determine the maximum floor area the business can rent, and comment on whether the y-intercept of the model has a meaningful interpretation in this context. [3 marks]

4ChallengeSAQ-LEquation of a straight line and slope-intercept form7 marksPaper 1~11 min
A small aircraft is flying from airport A to airport B. An air traffic controller monitors the aircraft's position a radar screen. Distances are measured in km. At 14:00, the aircraft is at point P(2,5). The aircraft flies in a straight line. At 14:12, the aircraft is at point Q(8,17).
(a)
Determine the equation of the straight line representing the aircraft's flight path, giving your answer in the form y=mx+c.
The aircraft continues along the same straight-line path. At 14:24, the aircraft reaches point R. [3 marks]
(b)
Determine the coordinates of point R.
Airport B is located at point B(k,61), and the aircraft's flight path passes directly over airport B at some time after 14:24. [2 marks]
(c)
(i) Determine the value of k. [1]
(ii) Hence, determine the time at which the aircraft flies directly over airport B. [2 marks]
