A subject that I would recommend to take for A level no matter what field you want to pursue in the future would
be a language. Being able to speak more than language looks impressive and will make you stand out of the crowd. 

I do accounting and I haven’t used at university but when it came it to applying for internships, one of the skills included speaking more than one language. 

A good subject to study might be politics or sociology. They will allow you to gain a basis of understanding about how society works and why things happen the way they do.

If you are looking to do something else other than politics or sociology, I would recommend something such as Economics which will look good on your university applications. :)

Thank you so much!!! This was actually perfect and really helpful because I was planning on doing economics, psychology and spanish. 

Applying for University

What A levels are good if u want to do law in university apart from english and history?

General equation of line y=mx+c

1. Find the gradient(m1) of the line.

2. Find the negative reciprocal(m2) of that: -1/m1(gradient)

All lines with that negative reciprocal are perpendicular.

(3.) If you want to find a particular perpendicular line, substitute, into general equation, the given (X, Y) coordinates and m2 (found in step 2), and use them to find c. This c will give you a unique equation.

When you see perpendicular paired up with an equation of a line. Alarm bells should be ringing to you reminding you that it involves the negative reciprocal (-1/slope)

The slope of y=4x+2 is 4 so the perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/4. Thé perpendicular line equation will be of the format y=-1/4x +b

If you have the coordinate points you can then calculate b (which can be negative or positive)

The formula for finding the perpendicular to a line is -1/slope. In your case of y=4x + 2, the slope is 4, so the equation would be y=-(1/4)x + b. If you are given a coordinate through which the perpendicular must pass, you can substitute the x and y values into your new equation to find b.

Maths

How do you find the equation of a line PERPENDICULAR to y=4x+2?

I have taught primary school children from the ages 4-11 for two years whilst I was at explore learning. 

At the moment alongside my full time role as an accounts assistant, I teach a 6 year old girl Maths  and French on the weekends 

Me! I have been teaching primary school students both privately and at a tuition centre for around 6 years :)
