Beware: A candidate finding an m(T) = 0 can obtain A1ft for m(N) → ∞ , but
obtains M0 if they write y − 4 = ∞(x − 4 3 ) . If they write, however, N: x = 4 3 ,
then they can score M1.

Beware: A candidate finding an m(T) = ∞ can obtain A1ft for m(N) = 0, and also
obtains M1 if they write y − 4 = 0(x − 4 3 ) or y = 4.
