Equations of linear graphs — practice question

The sketch presents a line L together with points A and B on a grid. Both axes are labelled, and A lies on the line to the left of the y-axis, while B is on the line at about (6,1).
(a)[1]

Write down point A's coordinates.

(b(i))[1]

Find the gradient of line L.

(b(ii))[2]

Write down the equation for line L in the form $y = mx + c$.

(c(i))[1]

Draw a line that is perpendicular to line L and goes through point A.

(c(ii))[1]

Mark point C on the grid and write down point C's coordinates.

(c(iii))[2]
