The document contains 25 multi-part questions about straight lines and triangles in the Cartesian plane. Some questions ask for equations of lines, coordinates of points of intersection, ratios in which a point divides a line segment, and loci of points. Other questions involve finding side lengths, areas, and equations of lines related to triangles such as medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendiculars. Many questions can be solved using properties of lines, triangles, and coordinate geometry without determining all vertex coordinates.
