Answer Key & Marking Scheme

Subject: Additional Mathematics (4049)
Paper: Practice Paper - Graphs & Coordinate Geometry (Version 1)
Total Marks: 80

Section A: Lines and Basic Coordinate Geometry

1. (a) Gradient $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-1 - 5}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1$.
[1]

(b) Using $y = mx + c$ with $m = -1$ and point $(-2, 5)$:
$5 = -1(-2) + c \Rightarrow 5 = 2 + c \Rightarrow c = 3$.
Equation: $y = -x + 3$.
[2] (M1 for substitution, A1 for correct equation)

(c) Gradient of perpendicular line $m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{m} = -\frac{1}{-1} = 1$.
Passes through $(0, 3)$, so $y$-intercept $c = 3$.
Equation: $y = x + 3$.
[2] (M1 for negative reciprocal, A1 for equation)

2. (a) Midpoint of $PQ = \left(\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{2+6}{2}\right) = (3, 4)$.
[1]

(b) Gradient $m_{PQ} = \frac{6-2}{5-1} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$.
Gradient $m_{QR} = \frac{0-6}{7-5} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3$.
Correction: Let's check gradients for right angle at Q.
$m_{PQ} = 1$.
$m_{QR} = -3$. Product $1 \times -3 = -3 \neq -1$.
Let's re-read coordinates: $P(1,2), Q(5,6), R(7,0)$.
$m_{QP} = \frac{2-6}{1-5} = \frac{-4}{-4} = 1$.
$m_{QR} = \frac{0-6}{7-5} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3$.
Wait, the question asks to show it is right-angled at Q. My calculation shows it is NOT right-angled at Q.
Let's check $PR$: $m_{PR} = \frac{0-2}{7-1} = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3}$.
Product $m_{QP} \times m_{PR} = 1 \times (-\frac{1}{3}) \neq -1$.
Product $m_{QR} \times m_{PR} = -3 \times (-\frac{1}{3}) = 1 \neq -1$.
There is no right angle in this triangle with these coordinates.
Adjustment for Answer Key: The question intended to ask "Show that triangle PQR is isosceles" or similar, OR the coordinates were meant to be different.
Let's assume the question meant "Show that $PQ$ is perpendicular to $QR$" is false, or I should change the coordinates in the question generation.
Self-Correction for Generation: In a real exam, coordinates would be chosen to work. Let's assume $R$ was $(9, 2)$.
$m_{QR} = \frac{2-6}{9-5} = -1$. Then $1 \times -1 = -1$.
However, I must answer the question as written in the paper.
If the paper says "Show that...", and it's not true, there is an error in the question design.
For the purpose of this key, I will provide the solution for a corrected version where $R=(9,2)$ to demonstrate the method, but note the discrepancy.
Actually, let's look at distances:
$PQ^2 = 4^2 + 4^2 = 32$.
$QR^2 = 2^2 + (-6)^2 = 40$.
$PR^2 = 6^2 + (-2)^2 = 40$.
It is an isosceles triangle ($QR=PR$). It is not right-angled.
Note to User: The generated question 2(b) contains a flaw in the specific numbers chosen for a "right-angled" proof. A correct question would use $R(9,2)$ or $P(1,6)$.
Marking Scheme for Method (assuming valid coordinates):
M1: Calculate gradients of two adjacent sides.
M1: Show product is -1.
A1: Conclusion.
(In a real scenario, students would lose marks if the premise is false, but here we award method marks for the attempt).

(c) Area using "Shoelace" or Box method.
Box area: $6 \times 6 = 36$.
Subtract corners:
$\triangle_1 (top left): 0.5 \times 4 \times 4 = 8$.
$\triangle_2 (bottom right): 0.5 \times 2 \times 6 = 6$.
$\triangle_3 (bottom left/trapezoid?):$ Let's use determinant formula.
Area $= 0.5 |x_P(y_Q - y_R) + x_Q(y_R - y_P) + x_R(y_P - y_Q)|$
$= 0.5 |1(6 - 0) + 5(0 - 2) + 7(2 - 6)|$
$= 0.5 |6 - 10 - 28| = 0.5 |-32| = 16$.
[2] (M1 for formula/setup, A1 for 16)

3. (a) Equate $y$: $x^2 - 4x + 7 = 2x + k$.
Rearrange: $x^2 - 4x - 2x + 7 - k = 0$.
$x^2 - 6x + (7 - k) = 0$.
[2] (M1 for equating, A1 for correct quadratic)

(b) For two distinct points, discriminant $\Delta > 0$.
$\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-6)^2 - 4(1)(7 - k)$.
$36 - 28 + 4k > 0$.
$8 + 4k > 0 \Rightarrow 4k > -8 \Rightarrow k > -2$.
[3] (M1 for discriminant setup, M1 for inequality, A1 for $k > -2$)

4. (a) Distance $AB = \sqrt{(9-3)^2 + (7-(-1))^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36+64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$.
[2]

(b) Section formula: $C = \left(\frac{2x_A + 1x_B}{3}, \frac{2y_A + 1y_B}{3}\right)$ for ratio $1:2$ (closer to A? No, $AC:CB=1:2$ means $C$ is $1/3$ way from A).
Wait, vector $\vec{AC} = \frac{1}{3} \vec{AB}$.
$x_C = 3 + \frac{1}{3}(9-3) = 3 + 2 = 5$.
$y_C = -1 + \frac{1}{3}(7-(-1)) = -1 + \frac{8}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$.
Coordinates: $(5, \frac{5}{3})$.
[3] (M1 for method, M1 for x, A1 for y)

5. (a) $3x - 4y + 12 = 0 \Rightarrow 4y = 3x + 12 \Rightarrow y = \frac{3}{4}x + 3$. Gradient $m = \frac{3}{4}$.
[1]

(b) x-intercept ($y=0$): $3x + 12 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -4$. Point $(-4, 0)$.
y-intercept ($x=0$): $-4y + 12 = 0 \Rightarrow y = 3$. Point $(0, 3)$.
[2]

(c) Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 3 = 6$ sq units.
[1]

---

Section B: Circles

6. (a) Complete square for $x$: $(x-5)^2 - 25$.
Complete square for $y$: $(y+3)^2 - 9$.
Equation: $(x-5)^2 - 25 + (y+3)^2 - 9 - 2 = 0$.
$(x-5)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36$.
Centre $(5, -3)$.
[2]

(b) Radius $r = \sqrt{36} = 6$.
[2]

(c) Distance from centre $(5, -3)$ to $(1, -3)$:
$d = \sqrt{(1-5)^2 + (-3-(-3))^2} = \sqrt{16} = 4$.
Since $4 < 6$ (radius), the point is inside the circle.
[2] (M1 for distance/substitution, A1 for conclusion)

7. (a) Radius squared $r^2 = (5-2)^2 + (3-(-1))^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25$.
Equation: $(x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 25$.
[3] (M1 for radius calc, M1 for $r^2$, A1 for equation)

(b) Gradient of radius to $(5,3)$: $m_{rad} = \frac{3-(-1)}{5-2} = \frac{4}{3}$.
Gradient of tangent $m_{tan} = -\frac{3}{4}$.
Equation: $y - 3 = -\frac{3}{4}(x - 5)$.
$4(y - 3) = -3(x - 5)$.
$4y - 12 = -3x + 15$.
$3x + 4y - 27 = 0$.
[4] (M1 for grad radius, M1 for neg recip, M1 for point-slope, A1 for final form)

8. (a) Centre = Midpoint of $AB = (\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{4+(-2)}{2}) = (3, 1)$.
[1]

(b) Radius squared $r^2 = (5-3)^2 + (-2-1)^2 = 2^2 + (-3)^2 = 4 + 9 = 13$.
Equation: $(x-3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 13$.
[3]

(c) Substitute $P(7, k)$ into equation:
$(7-3)^2 + (k-1)^2 = 13$.
$16 + (k-1)^2 = 13$.
$(k-1)^2 = -3$.
No real solution.
Correction: The point $(7,k)$ cannot lie on this circle because the x-distance from centre (3) to 7 is 4, which is already greater than radius $\sqrt{13} \approx 3.6$.
Note: This question also has a flaw in number generation.
Alternative valid calculation for marking scheme: If the question was valid, e.g., $P(4, k)$:
$(4-3)^2 + (k-1)^2 = 13 \Rightarrow 1 + (k-1)^2 = 13 \Rightarrow (k-1)^2 = 12 \Rightarrow k = 1 \pm \sqrt{12}$.
[3] (Award marks for method: substitution and solving quadratic).

9. (a) Substitute $y = x+1$ into $x^2 + y^2 = 25$:
$x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25$.
$x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25$.
$2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0$.
[3]

(b) Divide by 2: $x^2 + x - 12 = 0$.
$(x+4)(x-3) = 0$.
$x = -4$ or $x = 3$.
If $x = -4, y = -3$. Point $A(-4, -3)$.
If $x = 3, y = 4$. Point $B(3, 4)$.
[3]

(c) Distance $AB = \sqrt{(3 - (-4))^2 + (4 - (-3))^2} = \sqrt{7^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{98} = 7\sqrt{2}$.
[2]

10. (a) Since it touches y-axis at $(0,4)$, the y-coordinate of the centre is 4.
[1]

(b) Centre lies on $y=2x$. So $4 = 2x \Rightarrow x = 2$.
Centre is $(2, 4)$.
[2]

(c) Radius is distance from centre $(2,4)$ to touch point $(0,4)$, so $r=2$.
Equation: $(x-2)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 4$.
[2]

---

Section C: Advanced Coordinate Geometry & Linear Law

11. (a) Plot $y$ against $x^2$.
[1]

(b) Let $Y = y$ and $X = x^2$. Equation is $Y = aX + b$.
Gradient $a = \frac{28 - 10}{5 - 2} = \frac{18}{3} = 6$.
So $a = 6$.
Substitute $(2, 10)$ into $y = 6x^2 + b$:
$10 = 6(2) + b \Rightarrow 10 = 12 + b \Rightarrow b = -2$.
Values: $a = 6, b = -2$.
[4] (M1 for gradient formula, A1 for a, M1 for substitution, A1 for b)

12. (a) Take $\log_{10}$ of both sides:
$\log_{10} y = \log_{10} (Ab^x)$.
$\log_{10} y = \log_{10} A + \log_{10} (b^x)$.
$\log_{10} y = x \log_{10} b + \log_{10} A$.
[2]

(b) Comparing to $Y = mX + c$:
Gradient $m = \log_{10} b = 0.3 \Rightarrow b = 10^{0.3} \approx 1.995 \approx 2.00$.
Intercept $c = \log_{10} A = 0.5 \Rightarrow A = 10^{0.5} \approx 3.162 \approx 3.16$.
$A = 3.16, b = 2.00$.
[3] (M1 for identifying log b, A1 for b, M1 for identifying log A, A1 for A)

13. (a) $M$ is midpoint of $OB$. $O(0,0), B(8,6)$.
$M = (\frac{0+8}{2}, \frac{0+6}{2}) = (4, 3)$.
[1]

(b) $A$ is $(8,0)$? No, $OABC$ is a rectangle. $O(0,0), B(8,6)$.
Since sides are parallel to axes (implied by "rectangle OABC" with O at origin and B opposite, usually implies axes alignment unless stated otherwise, but strictly, we need coordinates of A and C).
If aligned with axes: $A(8,0)$ and $C(0,6)$ OR $A(0,6)$ and $C(8,0)$.
Standard labeling $O(0,0) \to A \to B \to C$.
If $A$ is on x-axis: $A(8,0), C(0,6)$.
Equation of $AC$: Gradient $m = \frac{6-0}{0-8} = -\frac{6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4}$.
y-intercept $c = 6$.
Equation: $y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 6$ or $3x + 4y = 24$.
[3] (M1 for coords of A/C, M1 for gradient, A1 for equation)

(c) Area $\triangle OAB = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24$.
[1]

14. (a) Midpoint of $AB$: $(\frac{-1+3}{2}, \frac{2+6}{2}) = (1, 4)$.
Gradient $AB$: $\frac{6-2}{3-(-1)} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$.
Gradient perp bisector: $-1$.
Equation: $y - 4 = -1(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = -x + 1 + 4 \Rightarrow y = -x + 5$.
[4] (M1 mid, M1 grad AB, M1 grad perp, A1 eq)

(b) Intersect x-axis ($y=0$):
$0 = -x + 5 \Rightarrow x = 5$.
$D(5, 0)$.
[2]

15. (a) $x^2 - 4x + 5 = (x-2)^2 - 4 + 5 = (x-2)^2 + 1$.
[2]

(b) Minimum point at vertex $(2, 1)$.
[1]

(c) The minimum value of $y$ is 1. For the line $y=c$ to intersect at two distinct points, it must be above the minimum.
$c > 1$.
[2]
