Line M⊥LM \perp L: mM=−1mL=−3m_M = -\frac{1}{m_L} = -\sqrt{3} ✓ [1 mark]

MM passes through (4,0)(4, 0): y−0=−3(x−4)y - 0 = -\sqrt{3}(x - 4)
y=−3x+43y = -\sqrt{3}x + 4\sqrt{3} ✓ [1 mark]

Multiply by 3\sqrt{3}: 3y=−3x+12\sqrt{3}y = -3x + 12
3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12
This is not in integer form. Multiply by 3\sqrt{3} again: 33x+3y=1233\sqrt{3}x + 3y = 12\sqrt{3}

Alternative: y=−3x+43y = -\sqrt{3}x + 4\sqrt{3}
3x+y=43\sqrt{3}x + y = 4\sqrt{3}
Multiply by 3\sqrt{3}: 3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12

For integer coefficients, multiply by 3\sqrt{3}: 3x+y=43\sqrt{3}x + y = 4\sqrt{3} is not integer.

Better approach: y=−3(x−4)y = -\sqrt{3}(x - 4)
3x+y=43\sqrt{3}x + y = 4\sqrt{3}
Square both sides? No.

Let's use: y=−3x+43y = -\sqrt{3}x + 4\sqrt{3}
3x+y=43\sqrt{3}x + y = 4\sqrt{3}
Multiply by 3\sqrt{3}: 3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12 — still has surd.

The question asks for integers aa, bb, cc. This suggests m=tan⁡30∘=33m = \tan 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}.

mL=33m_L = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}, so mM=−3m_M = -\sqrt{3} ✓
y−0=−3(x−4)y - 0 = -\sqrt{3}(x - 4)
y=−3x+43y = -\sqrt{3}x + 4\sqrt{3}
3x+y=43\sqrt{3}x + y = 4\sqrt{3} ✓ [1 mark]

Multiply by 3\sqrt{3}: 3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12 — not all integers.

Alternative: Write as y+3x−43=0y + \sqrt{3}x - 4\sqrt{3} = 0, multiply by 3\sqrt{3}: 3y+3x−12=0\sqrt{3}y + 3x - 12 = 0, so 3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12. Still not all integers.

Perhaps the intended answer uses rationalised form: x3+y=43x\sqrt{3} + y = 4\sqrt{3}, multiply by 3\sqrt{3}: 3x+y3=123x + y\sqrt{3} = 12. The coefficients are not all integers.

Let's reconsider: tan⁡30∘=13=33\tan 30^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}.
mL=33m_L = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}, mM=−3m_M = -\sqrt{3}.
Equation: y=−3(x−4)y = -\sqrt{3}(x - 4)
y=−3x+43y = -\sqrt{3}x + 4\sqrt{3}
3x+y=43\sqrt{3}x + y = 4\sqrt{3}

For integer coefficients, multiply by 3\sqrt{3}: 3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12. This has 3\sqrt{3} as coefficient of yy.

Perhaps the question expects 3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12 as the final form, accepting that one coefficient contains a surd but is expressed with integers where possible. Or perhaps the intended answer is 3x+y=43\sqrt{3}x + y = 4\sqrt{3} with the note that a=3a = \sqrt{3}, b=1b = 1, c=43c = 4\sqrt{3} are not all integers.

Given the constraint, let's provide: 3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12 ✓ [1 mark]

Answer: 3x+3y=123x + \sqrt{3}y = 12 [4 marks total]

Note: Accept 3x+y=43\sqrt{3}x + y = 4\sqrt{3} or equivalent. The requirement for integer coefficients is challenging with irrational gradients; award marks for correct method and simplified form.

15. Prove ∠PTA=∠PBT\angle PTA = \angle PBT

By the Alternate Segment Theorem:
The angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact equals the angle in the alternate segment. ✓ [1 mark]

Here, PTPT is tangent at TT, and TATA is a chord.
Therefore ∠PTA=∠TBA\angle PTA = \angle TBA (angle in alternate segment) ✓ [1 mark]

But ∠TBA=∠PBT\angle TBA = \angle PBT (same angle, BB lies on PBPB) ✓ [1 mark]

Hence ∠PTA=∠PBT\angle PTA = \angle PBT. ✓
