Answer Key and Marking Scheme

Paper: Practice Paper 5 (Graphs & Coordinate Geometry) Total Marks: 60

Section A (36 marks)

Question 1

(a) Gradient of AB = (\frac{-1 - 5}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1) [M1]

Equation: y − 5 = −1(x + 2) [M1] y − 5 = −x − 2 x + y − 3 = 0 [A1]

(b) At x-axis, y = 0: x + 0 − 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3 [M1] C = (3, 0) [A1]

(c) Midpoint of AB = (\left(\frac{-2+4}{2}, \frac{5+(-1)}{2}\right)) = (1, 2) [M1] Gradient of AB = −1, so gradient of perpendicular L = 1 [M1] Equation of L: y − 2 = 1(x − 1) [M1] y = x + 1 [A1]

Question 2

(a) x² + y² − 6x + 10y − 15 = 0 (x² − 6x) + (y² + 10y) = 15 [M1] (x − 3)² − 9 + (y + 5)² − 25 = 15 [M1] (x − 3)² + (y + 5)² = 49 [M1] Centre = (3, −5), radius = 7 [A1]

(b) Centre O(3, −5), P(7, −2) Gradient of OP = (\frac{-2 - (-5)}{7 - 3} = \frac{3}{4}) [M1] Gradient of tangent = (-\frac{4}{3}) (perpendicular) [M1] Equation: y − (−2) = (-\frac{4}{3})(x − 7) [M1] 3y + 6 = −4x + 28 4x + 3y − 22 = 0 [A1]

Question 3

(a) Original: y = x² − 4x + 7 Translation (\begin{pmatrix} 3 \ -2 \end{pmatrix}): replace x with (x − 3), y with (y + 2) [M1] y + 2 = (x − 3)² − 4(x − 3) + 7 [M1] y + 2 = x² − 6x + 9 − 4x + 12 + 7 y + 2 = x² − 10x + 28 y = x² − 10x + 26 [A1]

(b) Original minimum: y = (x − 2)² + 3, vertex at (2, 3) [M1] After translation: (2 + 3, 3 − 2) = (5, 1) [A1]

Question 4

(a) Gradient of DE = (\frac{6 - 2}{5 - 1} = \frac{4}{4} = 1) [A1]

(b) Gradient of EF = (\frac{8 - 6}{k - 5} = \frac{2}{k - 5}) [M1] DE ⟂ EF ⇒ 1 × (\frac{2}{k - 5}) = −1 [M1] 2 = −(k − 5) ⇒ 2 = −k + 5 ⇒ k = 3 [A1]

Question 5

(a) Let centre be (h, k). Distance from centre to (2, 1) equals distance to (6, 1): (h − 2)² + (k − 1)² = (h − 6)² + (k − 1)² [M1] (h − 2)² = (h − 6)² h² − 4h + 4 = h² − 12h + 36 8h = 32 ⇒ h = 4 [A1] Centre lies on x = 4.

(b) Centre (4, k). Distance to (2, 1) equals distance to (4, 5): (4 − 2)² + (k − 1)² = (4 − 4)² + (k − 5)² [M1] 4 + (k − 1)² = (k − 5)² [M1] 4 + k² − 2k + 1 = k² − 10k + 25 5 − 2k = −10k + 25 8k = 20 ⇒ k = 2.5 [M1] Radius² = (4 − 2)² + (2.5 − 1)² = 4 + 2.25 = 6.25 [M1] Equation: (x − 4)² + (y − 2.5)² = 6.25 [A1]

Section B (24 marks)

Question 6

(a) Intersection: x² − 3x + 5 = 2x + c x² − 5x + (5 − c) = 0 [M1] Two distinct points ⇒ discriminant > 0 [M1] (−5)² − 4(1)(5 − c) > 0 [M1] 25 − 20 + 4c > 0 4c > −5 [M1] c > −1.25 [A1]

Note: Accept "no real intersection points" or equivalent.

Question 7

(a) y = ax^b ⇒ lg y = lg a + b lg x [M1] Plotting lg y (vertical) against lg x (horizontal) gives a straight line [M1] with gradient = b and vertical intercept = lg a. [A1]

Question 8

(a) x² + y² − 4x + 8y + 4 = 0 (x² − 4x) + (y² + 8y) = −4 [M1] (x − 2)² − 4 + (y + 4)² − 16 = −4 [M1] (x − 2)² + (y + 4)² = 16 Centre = (2, −4), radius = 4 [A1]

(b) Distance from (5, −3) to centre (2, −4): = (\sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (-3 - (-4))^2}) [M1] = (\sqrt{9 + 1}) [M1] = (\sqrt{10}) ≈ 3.16 [M1] Since (\sqrt{10}) < 4, the point lies inside the circle. [A1]

Question 9

(a) In parallelogram ABCD, (\vec{AB} = \vec{DC}) (\vec{AB}) = (4, 4) [M1] D = C − (\vec{AB}) = (5, 0) − (4, 4) = (1, −4) [A1]

(b) x-intercept (y = 0): 0 = (\frac{4}{x-2}) + 1 −1 = (\frac{4}{x-2}) ⇒ x − 2 = −4 ⇒ x = −2 [M1] Point: (−2, 0) [A1] y-intercept (x = 0): y = (\frac{4}{-2}) + 1 = −2 + 1 = −1 [M1] Point: (0, −1) [A1]

(c) Tangent: (\frac{4}{x-2}) + 1 = mx + 1 (\frac{4}{x-2}) = mx [M1] 4 = mx(x − 2) = mx² − 2mx [M1] mx² − 2mx − 4 = 0 [M1] Tangent ⇒ discriminant = 0: (−2m)² − 4(m)(−4) = 0 [M1] 4m² + 16m = 0 4m(m + 4) = 0 m = 0 or m = −4 [A1]
