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]

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.

(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
