Section A: Basic Coordinate Geometry (32 marks)

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

Q2. [3 marks]
Given line gradient = 2, so perpendicular gradient $= -\frac{1}{2}$.
Using $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$: $y - (-2) = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 4)$
$y + 2 = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2$ → $y = -\frac{1}{2}x$.
Answer: $y = -\frac{1}{2}x$
Marks: 1 for perpendicular gradient, 2 for correct equation.

Q3. [2 marks]
Midpoint $= \left(\frac{1+7}{2}, \frac{2+10}{2}\right) = (4, 6)$.
Answer: $(4, 6)$

Q4. [2 marks]
Distance $= \sqrt{(4 - (-1))^2 + (-2 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}$.
Answer: $5\sqrt{2}$ units

Q5. [3 marks]
$x$-intercept: set $y=0$ → $3x = 12$ → $x = 4$.
$y$-intercept: set $x=0$ → $-4y = 12$ → $y = -3$.
Answer: $x$-int $= 4$, $y$-int $= -3$ (1.5 each)

Q6. [3 marks]
Substitute $y = 3x - 5$ into $2x + y = 8$: $2x + 3x - 5 = 8$ → $5x = 13$ → $x = \frac{13}{5}$.
$y = 3(\frac{13}{5}) - 5 = \frac{39}{5} - \frac{25}{5} = \frac{14}{5}$.
Answer: $\left(\frac{13}{5}, \frac{14}{5}\right)$

Q7. [2 marks]
Parallel → same gradient $-1$, through $(0,5)$ → $y = -x + 5$.
Answer: $y = -x + 5$

Q8. [3 marks]
Gradient $PQ = \frac{-2 - 4}{6 - (-2)} = \frac{-6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4}$.
$|-\frac{3}{4}| = 0.75 < 1.5$, so not steeper.
Answer: gradient $-\frac{3}{4}$; not steeper (1 for grad, 2 for comparison)

Section B: Circles and Curves (24 marks)

Q9. [3 marks]
From $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$, centre $(3, -2)$, radius $\sqrt{25} = 5$.
Answer: centre $(3, -2)$, radius 5

Q10. [2 marks]

$x^2 - 4x + y^2 + 6y = 12$
$(x - 2)^2 - 4 + (y + 3)^2 - 9 = 12$
$(x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25$
Centre $(2, -3)$, radius 5.
Marks: 2 for completing square, 1 centre, 1 radius.

Q12. [5 marks]
Sub $y = x+1$: $x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25$ → $2x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25$ → $2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0$ → $x^2 + x - 12 = 0$
$(x+4)(x-3)=0$ → $x = -4, 3$
$y = -3, 4$.
Answer: $(-4, -3)$ and $(3, 4)$ (3 for $x$, 2 for $y$)

Q13. [4 marks]
Centre = midpoint of $AB = (1, 4)$. Radius = $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{(5+3)^2 + (7-1)^2} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{100} = 5$.
Equation: $(x - 1)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 25$.
Marks: 2 centre, 2 radius/equation.

Q14. [4 marks]

Section C: Applied and Integrated (24 marks)

Q15. [3 marks]
Area $= \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|$
$= \frac{1}{2}|0(0-4) + 6(4-0) + 2(0-0)| = \frac{1}{2}(24) = 12$.
Answer: 12 square units

Q16. [5 marks]
Sub $y = 2x+3$: $x^2 + (2x+3)^2 + 2x - 4(2x+3) - 20 = 0$
$x^2 + 4x^2 + 12x + 9 + 2x - 8x - 12 - 20 = 0$
$5x^2 + 6x - 23 = 0$
Discriminant $= 36 - 4(5)(-23) = 36 + 460 = 496 \neq 0$.
Correction: The given circle is $x^2+y^2+2x-4y-20=0$; re-evaluate: actually tangent condition not met with given numbers; for practice we show method. If tangent, $\Delta=0$.
Marks: 3 for substitution/expansion, 2 for discriminant statement.

$GH = \sqrt{(4-1)^2+(5-1)^2} = 5$
$HI = \sqrt{(7-4)^2+(1-5)^2} = 5$

Two equal sides → isosceles.

Answer: $y = 11$
Marks: 2 grad, 3 substitution.
