Answer Key and Marking Scheme

Version: 3 of 5
Topic: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry

Section A: Lines and Basic Coordinate Geometry

1.
(a) Rearrange $3x - 2y + 6 = 0$ to $2y = 3x + 6 \Rightarrow y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3$ .
Gradient $m = \frac{3}{2}$ (or 1.5).
[1]

(b) Gradient of perpendicular line $m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{m} = -\frac{2}{3}$ .
Equation: $y - (-1) = -\frac{2}{3}(x - 4)$ .
$y + 1 = -\frac{2}{3}x + \frac{8}{3}$ .
Multiply by 3: $3y + 3 = -2x + 8$ .
$2x + 3y - 5 = 0$ .
[3] (M1 for correct perpendicular gradient, M1 for substitution, A1 for final integer form)

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

(b) Length $AB = \sqrt{(4 - (-2))^2 + (-3 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ .
Wait, question asks for form $k\sqrt{5}$ . Let's re-read carefully.
Ah, standard distance is 10. $10 = 2\sqrt{25}$ ? No.
Let's check the calculation again. $\sqrt{100} = 10$ .
If the question requires $k\sqrt{5}$ , then $10 = \sqrt{100} = \sqrt{20 \times 5} = 2\sqrt{25}$ ? No.
$10 = 2\sqrt{25}$ is not $k\sqrt{5}$ .
$10 = \sqrt{100}$ .
Perhaps the points were different in generation? Let's stick to the math.
$\sqrt{100} = 10$ .
If the prompt insists on $k\sqrt{5}$ , there might be a typo in the question generation or my interpretation.
Let's assume the question meant "simplest surd form" or the points yield a surd.
Let's re-calculate with points $A(-2, 5)$ and $B(4, -3)$ .
$\Delta x = 6, \Delta y = -8$ . Dist = 10.
10 cannot be written as $k\sqrt{5}$ for integer $k$ ( $k = 10/\sqrt{5} = 2\sqrt{5}$ , not integer).
Correction for Answer Key: The question asked for form $k\sqrt{5}$ . This implies the distance should have been a multiple of $\sqrt{5}$ .
Let's assume the question intended points that yield this, e.g., $\Delta x=1, \Delta y=2 \rightarrow \sqrt{5}$ .
However, based on the printed question:
Answer is 10.
If forced to fit format: $10 = 2\sqrt{25}$ ? No.
I will provide the correct mathematical answer: 10.
Note to user: In a real exam, if the form doesn't match, check working. Here, 10 is exact.
[2]

(c) Section formula: $C = \frac{2A + 1B}{3}$ (since ratio 1:2, C is closer to A? No, $AC:CB = 1:2$ means C is 1/3 way from A).
$x_C = \frac{2(-2) + 1(4)}{3} = \frac{-4+4}{3} = 0$ .
$y_C = \frac{2(5) + 1(-3)}{3} = \frac{10-3}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$ .
Coordinates: $(0, \frac{7}{3})$ .
[2]

3.
Area $= \frac{1}{2} |x_P(y_Q - y_R) + x_Q(y_R - y_P) + x_R(y_P - y_Q)|$
$= \frac{1}{2} |1(6 - 0) + 5(0 - 2) + 7(2 - 6)|$
$= \frac{1}{2} |6 - 10 - 28|$
$= \frac{1}{2} |-32| = 16$ .
[3] (M1 for formula/substitution, M1 for evaluation, A1 for 16)

4.
$m = \frac{1 - 7}{5 - 2} = \frac{-6}{3} = -2$ .
$y = -2x + c$ . Using $(2, 7)$ : $7 = -2(2) + c \Rightarrow 7 = -4 + c \Rightarrow c = 11$ .
$m = -2, c = 11$ .
[2]

Section B: Circles

5.
(a) Complete the square:
$(x^2 - 8x) + (y^2 + 6y) = 11$
$(x - 4)^2 - 16 + (y + 3)^2 - 9 = 11$
$(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 36$
Centre: $(4, -3)$ .
[2]

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

(c) Distance from centre $(4, -3)$ to $(1, -2)$ :
$d^2 = (1 - 4)^2 + (-2 - (-3))^2 = (-3)^2 + (1)^2 = 9 + 1 = 10$ .
Since $d^2 (10) < r^2 (36)$ , the point is inside the circle.
[2]

6.
(a) Centre $(3, -4)$ . Radius $r = \sqrt{(3-0)^2 + (-4-0)^2} = \sqrt{9+16} = 5$ .
Equation: $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 25$ .
[2]

(b) Expand: $x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 + 8y + 16 = 25$ .
$x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 8y + 25 = 25$ .
$x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 8y = 0$ .
[2]

7.
(a) Substitute $y = 2x + k$ into $x^2 + y^2 = 20$ :
$x^2 + (2x + k)^2 = 20$
$x^2 + 4x^2 + 4kx + k^2 = 20$
$5x^2 + 4kx + (k^2 - 20) = 0$ .
[2]

(b) For tangent, discriminant $\Delta = 0$ .
$b^2 - 4ac = 0$
$(4k)^2 - 4(5)(k^2 - 20) = 0$
$16k^2 - 20(k^2 - 20) = 0$
Divide by 4: $4k^2 - 5(k^2 - 20) = 0$
$4k^2 - 5k^2 + 100 = 0$
$-k^2 + 100 = 0 \Rightarrow k^2 = 100$ .
$k = 10$ or $k = -10$ .
[3]

8.
(a) Centre is midpoint of $AB$ : $(\frac{1+7}{2}, \frac{3+9}{2}) = (4, 6)$ .
Radius squared $r^2 = (7-4)^2 + (9-6)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 = 18$ .
Equation: $(x - 4)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 18$ .
[3]

(b) Substitute $x=4$ into equation:
$(4 - 4)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 18$
$(y - 6)^2 = 18$
$y - 6 = \pm\sqrt{18} = \pm 3\sqrt{2}$ .
$y = 6 \pm 3\sqrt{2}$ .
[2]

9.
(a) Centre $(10, 0)$ , radius 5.
$(x - 10)^2 + y^2 = 25$ .
[1]

(b) Distance between centres $C_1(0,0)$ and $C_2(10,0)$ is $10$ .
Sum of radii $r_1 + r_2 = 5 + 5 = 10$ .
Since distance between centres = sum of radii, they touch externally.
[2]

[3]

(b) Vertex x-coordinate $x = -\frac{b}{2a} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25$ .
$y = 2(1.25)^2 - 5(1.25) + 3 = 2(1.5625) - 6.25 + 3 = 3.125 - 6.25 + 3 = -0.125$ .

[2]

12.

For two distinct points, $\Delta > 0$ .
$(6 + m)^2 - 4(1)(10) > 0$
$(m + 6)^2 > 40$
$m + 6 > \sqrt{40}$ or $m + 6 < -\sqrt{40}$
$m > -6 + 2\sqrt{10}$ or $m < -6 - 2\sqrt{10}$ .
[4]

13.
(a) $\frac{12}{x} = x + 1$
$12 = x(x + 1)$
$12 = x^2 + x$
$x^2 + x - 12 = 0$ .
[2]

(b) $(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0$
$x = -4$ or $x = 3$ .

At $x = 2$ , gradient $m = 2(2) = 4$ .
[1]

(b) Gradient of normal $m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{4}$ .
Equation: $y - 4 = -\frac{1}{4}(x - 2)$ .
$4(y - 4) = -(x - 2)$
$4y - 16 = -x + 2$
$x + 4y - 18 = 0$ (or $y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 4.5$ ).
[2]
