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

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: $3y + 3 = -2x + 8$ .
$2x + 3y = 5$ .
[3] (M1 for perp gradient, M1 for substitution, A1 for final integer form)

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

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

3.
(a) Gradient $PQ = \frac{6-2}{5-1} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$ .
Gradient $PR = \frac{2-2}{5-1} = 0$ (Horizontal).
Gradient $QR = \frac{6-2}{5-5}$ (Undefined/Vertical).
Since $PR$ is horizontal and $QR$ is vertical, they are perpendicular. Angle at $R$ is $90^\circ$ .
Alternative: $PR^2 = 4^2+0=16$ , $QR^2=0+4^2=16$ , $PQ^2=4^2+4^2=32$ . $16+16=32$ , so Pythagoras holds.
[2]

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

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

5.
Midpoint of $CD = \left(\frac{1+7}{2}, \frac{3+9}{2}\right) = (4, 6)$ .
Gradient of $CD = \frac{9-3}{7-1} = \frac{6}{6} = 1$ .
Gradient of perpendicular bisector $= -1$ .
Equation: $y - 6 = -1(x - 4)$ .
$y - 6 = -x + 4$ .
$y = -x + 10$ .
[4] (M1 midpoint, M1 grad CD, M1 perp grad, A1 equation)

Section B: Circles and Intersections

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10.
Expand $C_2$ : $x^2 - 14x + 49 + y^2 = 16 \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 - 14x + 33 = 0$ .
From $C_1$ , $x^2 + y^2 = 25$ . Substitute into expanded $C_2$ :
$25 - 14x + 33 = 0$ .
$58 - 14x = 0 \Rightarrow 14x = 58 \Rightarrow x = \frac{58}{14} = \frac{29}{7}$ .
Substitute $x = \frac{29}{7}$ into $C_1$ :
$(\frac{29}{7})^2 + y^2 = 25$ .
$y^2 = 25 - \frac{841}{49} = \frac{1225 - 841}{49} = \frac{384}{49}$ .
$y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{384}}{7} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{64 \times 6}}{7} = \pm \frac{8\sqrt{6}}{7}$ .
Points: $\left(\frac{29}{7}, \frac{8\sqrt{6}}{7}\right)$ and $\left(\frac{29}{7}, -\frac{8\sqrt{6}}{7}\right)$ .
[4] (M1 eliminating quadratic terms, M1 finding x, M1 finding y, A1 coordinates)

Section C: Advanced Coordinate Geometry and Loci

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

(b) Complete square for x: $(x-10)^2 - 100 + y^2 + 84 = 0$ .
$(x-10)^2 + y^2 = 16$ .
Centre $(10, 0)$ , Radius $4$ .
[2]

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

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

(c) Let $B = (x, y)$ . Since $B$ is on $y=2x-1$ , $B = (x, 2x-1)$ .
Length $AB = \sqrt{5}$ .
$AB^2 = 5$ .
$(x-1)^2 + (2x-1-1)^2 = 5$ .
$(x-1)^2 + (2x-2)^2 = 5$ .
$(x-1)^2 + 4(x-1)^2 = 5$ .
$5(x-1)^2 = 5 \Rightarrow (x-1)^2 = 1$ .
$x - 1 = \pm 1$ .
Case 1: $x - 1 = 1 \Rightarrow x = 2$ . $y = 2(2)-1 = 3$ . $B(2, 3)$ .
Case 2: $x - 1 = -1 \Rightarrow x = 0$ . $y = 2(0)-1 = -1$ . $B(0, -1)$ .
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. $x=2$ is positive, $x=0$ 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 $ABCD$ is a rectangle, and we know $A$ and $C$ , $B$ and $D$ are not uniquely determined by just "AB parallel to y=2x" without length. But we added length $\sqrt{5}$ .
If the question implies finding B and D, or just B? "Coordinates of vertex B".
If $x=0$ is rejected because "positive x-coordinate", then only $(2,3)$ .
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: $(2, 3)$ and $(0, -1)$ .
If strictly "positive x", then only $(2, 3)$ .
Marking Scheme Note: Award marks for finding both, then selecting based on constraint.

13.
(a) Intersection: $x^2 - 4x + 5 = k \Rightarrow x^2 - 4x + (5-k) = 0$ .
No intersection means no real roots, so $\Delta < 0$ .
$b^2 - 4ac < 0$ .
$(-4)^2 - 4(1)(5-k) < 0$ .
$16 - 20 + 4k < 0$ .
$-4 + 4k < 0$ .
$4k < 4 \Rightarrow k < 1$ .
