Version 1 of 5 — Topic: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry
Total Marks: 80


Section A: Basic Coordinate Geometry

Q1 [3 marks]
Gradient m=y2−y1x2−x1=6−(−3)5−2=93=3m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{6 - (-3)}{5 - 2} = \frac{9}{3} = 3.
Answer: 3
Teaching note: Gradient measures steepness; subtract y-coordinates then x-coordinates in same order. Common mistake: reversing order gives wrong sign.

Q2 [3 marks]
Given line gradient = 2, so perpendicular gradient = −12-\frac{1}{2}.
Using y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1): y−(−2)=−12(x−4)y - (-2) = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 4)
y+2=−12x+2y + 2 = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2 → y=−12xy = -\frac{1}{2}x.
Answer: y=−12xy = -\frac{1}{2}x
Marking: 1 mark perpendicular gradient, 2 marks equation.

Q3 [4 marks]
AB=(5−1)2+(2−2)2=4AB = \sqrt{(5-1)^2 + (2-2)^2} = 4.
AC=(1−1)2+(7−2)2=5AC = \sqrt{(1-1)^2 + (7-2)^2} = 5.
Area = 12×4×5=10\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 5 = 10 (right angle at A).
Answer: AB = 4, AC = 5, Area = 10
Teaching note: Use distance formula; triangle is right-angled at A because AB horizontal, AC vertical.

Q4 [4 marks]
Midpoint = (−3+52,4+(−6)2)=(1,−1)\left(\frac{-3+5}{2}, \frac{4+(-6)}{2}\right) = (1, -1).

Q7 [4 marks]
x2−4x+y2+6y=12x^2 - 4x + y^2 + 6y = 12

Answer: Centre (2,−3)(2,-3), radius 5

Q8 [6 marks]
Substitute y=x+1y=x+1 into x2+y2=25x^2+y^2=25:
x2+(x+1)2=25x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25 → 2x2+2x−24=02x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0 → x2+x−12=0x^2 + x - 12 = 0 → (x+4)(x−3)=0(x+4)(x-3)=0.
x=−4→y=−3x=-4 → y=-3; x=3→y=4x=3 → y=4. R(−4,−3)(-4,-3), S(3,4)(3,4).
RS=(3+4)2+(4+3)2=49+49=72RS = \sqrt{(3+4)^2 + (4+3)^2} = \sqrt{49+49} = 7\sqrt{2}.
Answer: R(−4,−3)(-4,-3), S(3,4)(3,4), length 727\sqrt{2}

Centre = midpoint of AB = (3,1)(3,1); radius = 12(5−1)2+(4+2)2=1252=13\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(4+2)^2} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{52} = \sqrt{13}.
Equation: (x−3)2+(y−1)2=13(x-3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 13.
Answer: (x−3)2+(y−1)2=13(x-3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 13

Q16 [4 marks]
Substitute: x2+(kx+3)2=10x^2 + (kx+3)^2 = 10 → (1+k2)x2+6kx−1=0(1+k^2)x^2 + 6kx -1 =0.
Discriminant 0: 36k2+4(1+k2)=036k^2 + 4(1+k^2)=0 → 40k2=−440k^2 = -4 no real? Recheck: x2+k2x2+6kx+9=10x^2 + k^2x^2+6kx+9=10 → (1+k2)x2+6kx−1=0(1+k^2)x^2+6kx-1=0, Δ=36k2+4(1+k2)=40k2+4>0\Delta = 36k^2 +4(1+k^2)=40k^2+4>0 always. Tangent condition: distance from origin to line = 10\sqrt{10}: 31+k2=10\frac{3}{\sqrt{1+k^2}} = \sqrt{10} → 9=10(1+k2)9 = 10(1+k^2) → k2=−0.1k^2 = -0.1 no real. Correct: line y=kx+3y=kx+3 distance to origin ∣3∣k2+1=10\frac{|3|}{\sqrt{k^2+1}} = \sqrt{10} impossible. Actually circle radius 10≈3.16\sqrt{10}≈3.16, line intercept 3, tangent possible if 3k2+1=10\frac{3}{\sqrt{k^2+1}}=\sqrt{10} → no. So no real k.
Answer: No real values of k.
Note: Syllabus-aligned; shows tangent via distance.

Substitute y=2x−1y=2x-1: x2+(2x−1)2+2x−4(2x−1)−20=0x^2+(2x-1)^2+2x-4(2x-1)-20=0 → 5x2−6x−15=05x^2-6x-15=0.
x=6±36+30010=6±6310=3±335x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36+300}}{10} = \frac{6 \pm 6\sqrt{3}}{10} = \frac{3 \pm 3\sqrt{3}}{5}.
y=2x−1y = 2x-1 gives coords. Distance MN = (x1−x2)2+(y1−y2)2=(63/5)2+(123/5)2=432/25+432/25?\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2} = \sqrt{(6\sqrt{3}/5)^2 + (12\sqrt{3}/5)^2} = \sqrt{432/25+432/25?} compute: Δx=63/5\Delta x = 6\sqrt{3}/5, Δy=123/5\Delta y = 12\sqrt{3}/5, squared sum = 108/25+432/25=540/25=21.6108/25+432/25=540/25=21.6, not 80. Recompute equation: x2+4x2−4x+1+2x−8x+4−20=0x^2+4x^2-4x+1+2x-8x+4-20=0 → 5x2−10x−15=05x^2-10x-15=0 → x2−2x−3=0x^2-2x-3=0 → x=3,-1. Then y=5,-3. M(3,5),N(-1,-3). MN = 42+82=80\sqrt{4^2+8^2}=\sqrt{80}.
