Answer Key & Marking Scheme
Topic: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry (Version 4)

Section A: Lines and Basic Coordinate Geometry

1.
(a) Rearrange 3x−2y+6=03x - 2y + 6 = 0 to 2y=3x+6⇒y=32x+32y = 3x + 6 \Rightarrow y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3.
Gradient m=32m = \frac{3}{2} (or 1.5).
[1]

(b) Gradient of perpendicular line m⊥=−1m=−23m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{m} = -\frac{2}{3}.
Equation: y−(−1)=−23(x−4)y - (-1) = -\frac{2}{3}(x - 4).
y+1=−23x+83y + 1 = -\frac{2}{3}x + \frac{8}{3}.
Multiply by 3: 3y+3=−2x+83y + 3 = -2x + 8.
2x+3y=52x + 3y = 5.
[3] (M1 for perp gradient, M1 for substitution, A1 for final integer form)

2.
(a) Midpoint M=(−2+62,5+(−3)2)=(42,22)=(2,1)M = \left(\frac{-2+6}{2}, \frac{5+(-3)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{2}{2}\right) = (2, 1).
[2]

(b) Length AB=(6−(−2))2+(−3−5)2=82+(−8)2=64+64=128AB = \sqrt{(6 - (-2))^2 + (-3 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{64 + 64} = \sqrt{128}.
128=64×2=82\sqrt{128} = \sqrt{64 \times 2} = 8\sqrt{2}.
So, k=8k = 8.
[2] (M1 for distance formula setup, A1 for simplified surd)

3.
(a) Gradient PQ=6−25−1=44=1PQ = \frac{6-2}{5-1} = \frac{4}{4} = 1.
Gradient PR=2−25−1=0PR = \frac{2-2}{5-1} = 0 (Horizontal).
Gradient QR=6−25−5QR = \frac{6-2}{5-5} (Undefined/Vertical).
Since PRPR is horizontal and QRQR is vertical, they are perpendicular. Angle at RR is 90∘90^\circ.
Alternative: PR2=42+0=16PR^2 = 4^2+0=16, QR2=0+42=16QR^2=0+4^2=16, PQ2=42+42=32PQ^2=4^2+4^2=32. 16+16=3216+16=32, so Pythagoras holds.
[2]

(b) Base PR=4PR = 4, Height QR=4QR = 4.
Area =12×4×4=8= \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 4 = 8 sq units.
[2]

4.
x-intercept AA: Set y=0⇒2x=−k⇒x=−k/2y=0 \Rightarrow 2x = -k \Rightarrow x = -k/2. A(−k/2,0)A(-k/2, 0).
y-intercept BB: Set x=0⇒y=kx=0 \Rightarrow y = k. B(0,k)B(0, k).
Area =12×∣base∣×∣height∣=12×∣−k2∣×∣k∣=k24= \frac{1}{2} \times |base| \times |height| = \frac{1}{2} \times |-\frac{k}{2}| \times |k| = \frac{k^2}{4}.
Given Area =9= 9:
k24=9⇒k2=36⇒k=±6\frac{k^2}{4} = 9 \Rightarrow k^2 = 36 \Rightarrow k = \pm 6.
Since k>0k > 0, k=6k = 6.
[4] (M1 for intercepts, M1 for area formula, M1 for solving quadratic, A1 for correct sign)

5.
Midpoint of CD=(1+72,3+92)=(4,6)CD = \left(\frac{1+7}{2}, \frac{3+9}{2}\right) = (4, 6).
Gradient of CD=9−37−1=66=1CD = \frac{9-3}{7-1} = \frac{6}{6} = 1.
Gradient of perpendicular bisector =−1= -1.
Equation: y−6=−1(x−4)y - 6 = -1(x - 4).
y−6=−x+4y - 6 = -x + 4.
y=−x+10y = -x + 10.

Section B: Circles and Intersections

6.
(a) Complete the square:
(x2−8x)+(y2+6y)=11(x^2 - 8x) + (y^2 + 6y) = 11.
(x−4)2−16+(y+3)2−9=11(x - 4)^2 - 16 + (y + 3)^2 - 9 = 11.
(x−4)2+(y+3)2=11+16+9=36(x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 11 + 16 + 9 = 36.
Centre (4,−3)(4, -3).
[2]

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

7.
(a) Substitute y=x+1y = x + 1 into x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25:
x2+(x+1)2=25x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25.
x2+(x2+2x+1)=25x^2 + (x^2 + 2x + 1) = 25.
2x2+2x+1−25=02x^2 + 2x + 1 - 25 = 0.
2x2+2x−24=02x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0.
[3] (M1 substitution, M1 expansion, A1 simplification)

(b) Divide by 2: x2+x−12=0x^2 + x - 12 = 0.
(x+4)(x−3)=0(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0.
x=−4x = -4 or x=3x = 3.
If x=−4,y=−4+1=−3x = -4, y = -4 + 1 = -3. Point (−4,−3)(-4, -3).
If x=3,y=3+1=4x = 3, y = 3 + 1 = 4. Point (3,4)(3, 4).
Coordinates: (−4,−3)(-4, -3) and (3,4)(3, 4).
[4] (M1 solving quadratic, M1 finding corresponding y, A1 both pairs)

8.
(a) Radius squared r2=(6−3)2+(2−(−2))2=32+42=9+16=25r^2 = (6-3)^2 + (2-(-2))^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25.
Equation: (x−3)2+(y+2)2=25(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25.
[3] (M1 distance formula for r, M1 r squared, A1 equation)

(b) Substitute (0,1)(0, 1) into LHS:
(0−3)2+(1+2)2=(−3)2+(3)2=9+9=18(0 - 3)^2 + (1 + 2)^2 = (-3)^2 + (3)^2 = 9 + 9 = 18.
Since 18<2518 < 25 (RHS), the point lies inside the circle.
[2] (M1 substitution/calculation, A1 conclusion with reason)

9.
(a) Substitute y=mxy=mx into (x−4)2+(y−3)2=4(x-4)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 4:
(x−4)2+(mx−3)2=4(x-4)^2 + (mx-3)^2 = 4.
(x2−8x+16)+(m2x2−6mx+9)=4(x^2 - 8x + 16) + (m^2x^2 - 6mx + 9) = 4.
Group terms: (1+m2)x2+(−8−6m)x+(16+9−4)=0(1+m^2)x^2 + (-8-6m)x + (16+9-4) = 0.
(1+m2)x2−(8+6m)x+21=0(1+m^2)x^2 - (8+6m)x + 21 = 0.
[3] (M1 substitution, M1 expansion, A1 grouping)

(b) For tangency, discriminant Δ=0\Delta = 0.
b2−4ac=0b^2 - 4ac = 0.
(−(8+6m))2−4(1+m2)(21)=0(-(8+6m))^2 - 4(1+m^2)(21) = 0.
(8+6m)2−84(1+m2)=0(8+6m)^2 - 84(1+m^2) = 0.
64+96m+36m2−84−84m2=064 + 96m + 36m^2 - 84 - 84m^2 = 0.
−48m2+96m−20=0-48m^2 + 96m - 20 = 0.
Divide by -4: 12m2−24m+5=012m^2 - 24m + 5 = 0.
Using quadratic formula: m=24±576−24024=24±33624m = \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{576 - 240}}{24} = \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{336}}{24}.
336=16×21=421\sqrt{336} = \sqrt{16 \times 21} = 4\sqrt{21}.
m=24±42124=6±216m = \frac{24 \pm 4\sqrt{21}}{24} = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{21}}{6}.
[4] (M1 discriminant condition, M1 expansion/simplification, M1 solving for m, A1 final values)

10.
Expand C2C_2: x2−14x+49+y2=16⇒x2+y2−14x+33=0x^2 - 14x + 49 + y^2 = 16 \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 - 14x + 33 = 0.
From C1C_1, x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25. Substitute into expanded C2C_2:
25−14x+33=025 - 14x + 33 = 0.
58−14x=0⇒14x=58⇒x=5814=29758 - 14x = 0 \Rightarrow 14x = 58 \Rightarrow x = \frac{58}{14} = \frac{29}{7}.
Substitute x=297x = \frac{29}{7} into C1C_1:
(297)2+y2=25(\frac{29}{7})^2 + y^2 = 25.
y2=25−84149=1225−84149=38449y^2 = 25 - \frac{841}{49} = \frac{1225 - 841}{49} = \frac{384}{49}.
y=±3847=±64×67=±867y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{384}}{7} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{64 \times 6}}{7} = \pm \frac{8\sqrt{6}}{7}.
Points: (297,867)\left(\frac{29}{7}, \frac{8\sqrt{6}}{7}\right) and (297,−867)\left(\frac{29}{7}, -\frac{8\sqrt{6}}{7}\right).

11.
(a) PA=2PB⇒PA2=4PB2PA = 2 PB \Rightarrow PA^2 = 4 PB^2.
(x−2)2+(y−0)2=4[(x−8)2+(y−0)2](x-2)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 4 [ (x-8)^2 + (y-0)^2 ].
x2−4x+4+y2=4[x2−16x+64+y2]x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = 4 [ x^2 - 16x + 64 + y^2 ].
x2−4x+4+y2=4x2−64x+256+4y2x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = 4x^2 - 64x + 256 + 4y^2.
Rearrange to one side:
3x2−60x+3y2+252=03x^2 - 60x + 3y^2 + 252 = 0.
Divide by 3:
x2−20x+y2+84=0x^2 - 20x + y^2 + 84 = 0.
This is in the form x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, which represents a circle.
[4] (M1 distance formula setup, M1 squaring/expanding, M1 simplification, A1 identifying circle form)

(b) Complete square for x: (x−10)2−100+y2+84=0(x-10)^2 - 100 + y^2 + 84 = 0.
(x−10)2+y2=16(x-10)^2 + y^2 = 16.
Centre (10,0)(10, 0), Radius 44.
[2]

12.
(a) Gradient AC=5−17−1=46=23AC = \frac{5-1}{7-1} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}.
Equation: y−1=23(x−1)⇒3y−3=2x−2⇒2x−3y+1=0y - 1 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 1) \Rightarrow 3y - 3 = 2x - 2 \Rightarrow 2x - 3y + 1 = 0.
[2]

(b) Side ABAB is parallel to y=2xy=2x, so gradient mAB=2m_{AB} = 2.
Passes through A(1,1)A(1,1).
y−1=2(x−1)⇒y=2x−1y - 1 = 2(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = 2x - 1.
[3] (M1 gradient, M1 point-slope, A1 equation)

(c) Let B=(x,y)B = (x, y). Since BB is on y=2x−1y=2x-1, B=(x,2x−1)B = (x, 2x-1).
Length AB=5AB = \sqrt{5}.
AB2=5AB^2 = 5.
(x−1)2+(2x−1−1)2=5(x-1)^2 + (2x-1-1)^2 = 5.
(x−1)2+(2x−2)2=5(x-1)^2 + (2x-2)^2 = 5.
(x−1)2+4(x−1)2=5(x-1)^2 + 4(x-1)^2 = 5.
5(x−1)2=5⇒(x−1)2=15(x-1)^2 = 5 \Rightarrow (x-1)^2 = 1.
x−1=±1x - 1 = \pm 1.
Case 1: x−1=1⇒x=2x - 1 = 1 \Rightarrow x = 2. y=2(2)−1=3y = 2(2)-1 = 3. B(2,3)B(2, 3).
Case 2: x−1=−1⇒x=0x - 1 = -1 \Rightarrow x = 0. y=2(0)−1=−1y = 2(0)-1 = -1. B(0,−1)B(0, -1).
Both have valid x-coordinates (question asked for positive x? "given that B has a positive x-coordinate" implies only one? Wait, prompt said "find the two possible sets... given B has positive x" is contradictory if only one is positive. x=2x=2 is positive, x=0x=0 is not positive.
Correction based on prompt text: The prompt text in Q12(c) says "find the two possible sets...". Usually, rectangles have two possible orientations for B relative to diagonal AC if we don't fix order, but here AB is a specific side.
Actually, if ABCDABCD is a rectangle, and we know AA and CC, BB and DD are not uniquely determined by just "AB parallel to y=2x" without length. But we added length 5\sqrt{5}.
If the question implies finding B and D, or just B? "Coordinates of vertex B".
If x=0x=0 is rejected because "positive x-coordinate", then only (2,3)(2,3).
However, standard questions often ask for both potential vertices for the other corners if the label isn't fixed, or perhaps the "positive x" constraint was for a different version.
Let's provide both calculated points and note the constraint.
Points: (2,3)(2, 3) and (0,−1)(0, -1).
If strictly "positive x", then only (2,3)(2, 3).
Marking Scheme Note: Award marks for finding both, then selecting based on constraint.

(a) Intersection: x2−4x+5=k⇒x2−4x+(5−k)=0x^2 - 4x + 5 = k \Rightarrow x^2 - 4x + (5-k) = 0.
No intersection means no real roots, so Δ<0\Delta < 0.
b2−4ac<0b^2 - 4ac < 0.
(−4)2−4(1)(5−k)<0(-4)^2 - 4(1)(5-k) < 0.
16−20+4k<016 - 20 + 4k < 0.
−4+4k<0-4 + 4k < 0.
4k<4⇒k<14k < 4 \Rightarrow k < 1.
