    This document contains 3 math word problems involving lines and their gradients. The first asks to calculate the gradient of line l1 from a diagram and write its equation. The second involves two lines L1 and L2 marked as perpendicular, but one is drawn incorrectly - it asks to identify the incorrectly drawn line and explain how the gradients show the lines should not be perpendicular. The third gives the equation of a line PQ and asks to find the coordinates of its intercepts with the axes, and the coordinates of its intersection with a second given line.
