We can also see it this way:

Noting that point in the form (x, y)
(-1, 6) and (7, a) . x1 = -1, y1 = 6, x2 = 7, y2 = a
Gradient , m = (y2- y1) / (x2 - x1). m =6.
Substituting:

6 = (a - 6) / (7 - -1)
6 = (a -6) / (7+1)
6 = (a -6) /8 Cross Multiplying
48 = a -6.
48 +6 = a.
54 = a.
Therefore a = 54.
I hope this helps.

Solve the differential. This was in the 2016 VCE Specialist Maths Paper 1 and i'm a bit stuck

Nimfa-mama [501]

$\sqrt{2 - x^{2}} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2 - y}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{(2 - y)\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$

Now, isolate the variables, so you can integrate.
$(2 - y)dy = \frac{dx}{\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$
$\int (2 - y)\,dy = \int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$
$2y - \frac{y^{2}}{2} = sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{2}C$

$4y - y^{2} = 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} + C$
$y^{2} - 4y = -2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$(y - 2)^{2} - 4 = -2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$(y - 2)^{2} = 4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$

$y - 2 = \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$
$y = 2 \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

At x = 1, y = 0.
$0 = 2 \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$
$-2 = \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

$4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C > 0$
$\therefore 2 = \sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

$4 = 4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$0 = -2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$C = -2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = -2\frac{\pi}{4}$
$C = -\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore y = 2 - \sqrt{4 + \frac{\pi}{2} - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}}$
