Section A (20 marks)

1. Midpoint of $AB$ with $A(2,3)$, $B(8,7)$:
Midpoint $= \left( \frac{2+8}{2}, \frac{3+7}{2} \right) = (5, 5)$.
Answer: $(5, 5)$ [2]

2. Gradient of $PQ$: $m = \frac{-2 - 4}{3 - (-1)} = \frac{-6}{4} = -\frac{3}{2}$.
Answer: $-\frac{3}{2}$ [2]

3. $y = mx + c$ with $m=3$, $c=-2$: $y = 3x - 2$.
Answer: $y = 3x - 2$ [2]

4. From $(x - 1)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$, centre is $(1, -2)$.
Answer: $(1, -2)$ [2]

5. $x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 6y - 12 = 0$
Complete square: $(x^2 - 4x) + (y^2 + 6y) = 12$
$(x-2)^2 - 4 + (y+3)^2 - 9 = 12$
$(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 25$ → radius $= \sqrt{25} = 5$.
Answer: $5$ [2]

6. $2x + 1 = x^2 - 3x + 1 \Rightarrow x^2 - 5x = 0 \Rightarrow x(x-5)=0$
$x = 0$ or $x = 5$; given $x>0$, $x=5$.
Answer: $5$ [2]

7. Distance $= \sqrt{(4-1)^2 + (5-1)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5$.
Answer: $5$ [2]

8. $2x - 3y = 6 \Rightarrow 3y = 2x - 6 \Rightarrow y = \frac{2}{3}x - 2$, gradient $= \frac{2}{3}$.
Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$ [2]

9. Midpoint of $PQ = (2,0)$; perpendicular bisector is vertical line $x=2$, meets $y$-axis at $(0,0)$? Wait: $P(0,0), Q(4,0)$, midpoint $(2,0)$, perp bisector is $x=2$, does not meet $y$-axis. Correction: perp bisector of horizontal segment is vertical line $x=2$; it meets $y$-axis only if $x=0$, so no meet. But question says meets $y$-axis at $R$; reinterpret: segment $PQ$ on $x$-axis, perp bisector is $x=2$, no intersection with $y$-axis. However if intended as line through midpoint perpendicular to $PQ$ (vertical), it does not meet $y$-axis. Assuming typo: if $P(0,0), Q(0,4)$ then $R=(0,2)$. Given text, answer as per literal: no meet; but for practice we state $R=(2,0)$ is on bisector, not $y$-axis. We follow given: $R$ is on $y$-axis → actually midpoint $(2,0)$, bisector $x=2$, no $y$-axis meet. We mark as $(2,0)$ if relaxed. Answer: $(2,0)$ (note: bisector is $x=2$) [2]

10. $12 = k(2)^2 = 4k \Rightarrow k=3$.
Answer: $3$ [2]

Section B (24 marks)

11. (a) $x^2+y^2+6x-8y+9=0$ → $(x+3)^2-9 + (y-4)^2-16 +9=0$ → $(x+3)^2+(y-4)^2=16$, centre $(-3,4)$. [2]
(b) Radius $= \sqrt{16}=4$. [2]

12. $x+2 = x^2-4 \Rightarrow x^2 - x -6=0 \Rightarrow (x-3)(x+2)=0$ → $x=3$ or $x=-2$.
When $x=3$, $y=5$; when $x=-2$, $y=0$. Points: $(3,5), (-2,0)$. [4]

13. Centre $(3,-1)$, $r=4$: $(x-3)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 16$. [4]

14. Midpoint of $AB = (3,4)$ = centre; radius $= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(6-2)^2} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{32} = 2\sqrt{2}$.
Equation: $(x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 8$. [4]

15. $y=2f(x-3)$: translation $3$ units right, then vertical stretch factor $2$. [4]

16. Parallel to $y=-x+1$ → gradient $-1$. Through $(2,5)$: $y-5 = -1(x-2) \Rightarrow y = -x+7$. [4]

---

Section C (36 marks)

17. (a) $x^2+y^2-2x-4y-20=0$ → $(x-1)^2-1+(y-2)^2-4-20=0$ → $(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=25$. Centre $(1,2)$, radius $5$. [3]
(b) Substitute $y=2x-1$: $(x-1)^2+(2x-3)^2=25 \Rightarrow x^2-2x+1+4x^2-12x+9=25 \Rightarrow 5x^2-14x-15=0$. Discriminant $= 196+300=496>0$ → two intersections. [2]
(c) $x = \frac{14 \pm \sqrt{496}}{10} = \frac{14 \pm 4\sqrt{31}}{10} = \frac{7 \pm 2\sqrt{31}}{5}$.
$y = 2x-1 = \frac{14 \pm 4\sqrt{31}}{5} - 1 = \frac{9 \pm 4\sqrt{31}}{5}$. Points: $\left( \frac{7+2\sqrt{31}}{5}, \frac{9+4\sqrt{31}}{5} \right), \left( \frac{7-2\sqrt{31}}{5}, \frac{9-4\sqrt{31}}{5} \right)$. [4]

18. (a) Midpoint $AB = (2,2.5)$, gradient $AB = \frac{3-1}{4-0}=0.5$, perp gradient $-2$. Equation: $y-2.5 = -2(x-2) \Rightarrow y = -2x+6.5$. [3]
(b) Midpoint $BC = (3,5)$, gradient $BC = \frac{7-3}{2-4}=-2$, perp gradient $0.5$. Equation: $y-5 = 0.5(x-3) \Rightarrow y = 0.5x+3.5$. [3]
(c) Solve: $-2x+6.5 = 0.5x+3.5 \Rightarrow 3 = 2.5x \Rightarrow x=1.2$, $y=4.1$. Circumcentre $(1.2, 4.1)$. [3]

19. (a) $y = x^2-6x+5 = (x-3)^2 - 9 + 5 = (x-3)^2 - 4$. Vertex $(3,-4)$. [3]
(b) $x^2-6x+5=0 \Rightarrow (x-1)(x-5)=0$, intercepts $x=1,5$. [2]
(c) Tangent $y=m$ touches at vertex → $m = -4$. [4]

20. (a) Radius $= \sqrt{(5-2)^2+(7-3)^2} = \sqrt{9+16}=5$. [2]
(b) $(x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=25$. [2]
(c) Substitute $y=x+1$: $(x-2)^2+(x-2)^2=25 \Rightarrow 2(x-2)^2=25 \Rightarrow (x-2)^2=12.5 \Rightarrow x = 2 \pm \sqrt{12.5} = 2 \pm \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}$.
$y = 3 \pm \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}$. Points: $\left(2+\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}, 3+\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\right), \left(2-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}, 3-\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)$. [5]
