ANSWER KEY AND MARKING SCHEME

Total Marks: 50

---

Section A: Basic Coordinate Geometry (15 marks)

1. Midpoint = $\left(\frac{-3+5}{2}, \frac{7+(-1)}{2}\right)$ [M1]
= $(1, 3)$ [A1]
[2 marks]

---

2. Rearranging $2x - 3y + 6 = 0$:
$3y = 2x + 6$
$y = \frac{2}{3}x + 2$ [M1]
Gradient = $\frac{2}{3}$ [A1]
[2 marks]

---

3. Gradient of $y = 3x - 2$ is $3$.
Rearranging $6x - 2y + 5 = 0$: $2y = 6x + 5$, so $y = 3x + \frac{5}{2}$. [M1]
Gradient is $3$.
Since both gradients are equal ($m_1 = m_2 = 3$), the lines are parallel. [A1]
[2 marks]

---

4. Gradient of given line is $\frac{1}{2}$.
Gradient of perpendicular line = $-2$ (since $m_1 \times m_2 = -1$). [M1]
Using point $(2, -1)$: $y - (-1) = -2(x - 2)$ [M1]
$y + 1 = -2x + 4$
$2x + y - 3 = 0$ [A1]
[3 marks]

---

5. Using the shoelace formula:
$\frac{1}{2}|1(8-2) + 5(2-2) + 9(2-8)|$ [M1]
$= \frac{1}{2}|1(6) + 5(0) + 9(-6)|$ [M1]
$= \frac{1}{2}|6 - 54| = \frac{1}{2}|-48| = 24$ square units [A1]
[3 marks]

---

6. Distance = $\sqrt{(4-(-2))^2 + (-3-5)^2}$ [M1]
$= \sqrt{6^2 + (-8)^2}$ [M1]
$= \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ [A1]
[3 marks]

---

Section B: Circles (15 marks)

7. $x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4y - 12 = 0$
Completing the square:
$(x^2 - 6x) + (y^2 + 4y) = 12$
$(x - 3)^2 - 9 + (y + 2)^2 - 4 = 12$ [M1]
$(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$ [M1]
Centre = $(3, -2)$ [A1]
Radius = $\sqrt{25} = 5$ [A1]
[4 marks]

---

8. Centre $(-2, 3)$, radius $5$:
$(x - (-2))^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5^2$ [M1]
$(x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25$ [M1]
Expanding: $x^2 + 4x + 4 + y^2 - 6y + 9 = 25$
$x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 6y - 12 = 0$ [A1]
[3 marks]

---

9. Centre is midpoint of $AB$: $\left(\frac{1+7}{2}, \frac{4+(-2)}{2}\right) = (4, 1)$ [M1]
Radius = half the distance $AB$:
$AB = \sqrt{(7-1)^2 + (-2-4)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 36} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}$ [M1]
Radius = $3\sqrt{2}$
Equation: $(x - 4)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = (3\sqrt{2})^2 = 18$ [M1]
$x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 2y + 16 + 1 - 18 = 0$
$x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 2y - 1 = 0$ [A1]
[4 marks]

---

10. Distance from centre $(3, -1)$ to point $(6, 3)$:
$r = \sqrt{(6-3)^2 + (3-(-1))^2}$ [M1]
$= \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}$ [M1]
$= \sqrt{9 + 16}$ [M1]
$= \sqrt{25} = 5$ units [A1]
[4 marks]

---

Section C: Intersections and Applications (20 marks)

11. Equating: $2x + 1 = x^2 - x - 3$ [M1]
$x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0$ [M1]
$(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0$ [M1]
$x = 4$ or $x = -1$
When $x = 4$: $y = 2(4) + 1 = 9$
When $x = -1$: $y = 2(-1) + 1 = -1$ [M1]
Points: $(4, 9)$ and $(-1, -1)$ [A1]
[5 marks]

---

12. For tangency, equate and set discriminant = 0:
$mx + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 1$ [M1]
$x^2 + (3 - m)x - 1 = 0$ [M1]
Discriminant = $(3 - m)^2 - 4(1)(-1) = 0$ [M1]
$(3 - m)^2 + 4 = 0$
$(3 - m)^2 = -4$
No real solutions. [M1]
Wait — check: $x^2 + 3x + 1 - mx - 2 = 0$
$x^2 + (3 - m)x - 1 = 0$
Discriminant = $(3 - m)^2 - 4(1)(-1) = (3 - m)^2 + 4$
For tangency: $(3 - m)^2 + 4 = 0$, which has no real solutions.
Therefore, no real value of $m$ exists for which the line is tangent. [A1]

Alternative interpretation: The line $y = mx + 2$ cannot be tangent to $y = x^2 + 3x + 1$ because the discriminant is always positive.
[5 marks]

---

13. (a) Centre of $C$ is $(2, -1)$.
Substitute into $L$: $y = 2(2) - 5 = -1$ [M1]
Since $y = -1$ matches the $y$-coordinate of the centre, $L$ passes through the centre. [A1]
[2 marks]

(b) Substitute $y = 2x - 5$ into $(x - 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 25$:
$(x - 2)^2 + (2x - 5 + 1)^2 = 25$ [M1]
$(x - 2)^2 + (2x - 4)^2 = 25$
$(x - 2)^2 + 4(x - 2)^2 = 25$ [M1]
$5(x - 2)^2 = 25$
$(x - 2)^2 = 5$ [M1]
$x - 2 = \pm\sqrt{5}$
$x = 2 \pm \sqrt{5}$
When $x = 2 + \sqrt{5}$: $y = 2(2 + \sqrt{5}) - 5 = 4 + 2\sqrt{5} - 5 = -1 + 2\sqrt{5}$
When $x = 2 - \sqrt{5}$: $y = 2(2 - \sqrt{5}) - 5 = 4 - 2\sqrt{5} - 5 = -1 - 2\sqrt{5}$ [M1]
Points: $(2 + \sqrt{5}, -1 + 2\sqrt{5})$ and $(2 - \sqrt{5}, -1 - 2\sqrt{5})$ [A1]
[4 marks]

---

14. (a) Equating: $\frac{6}{x} = 7 - x$ [M1]
$6 = 7x - x^2$
$x^2 - 7x + 6 = 0$ [M1]
$(x - 1)(x - 6) = 0$
$x = 1$ or $x = 6$
When $x = 1$: $y = 7 - 1 = 6$
When $x = 6$: $y = 7 - 6 = 1$
Points: $(1, 6)$ and $(6, 1)$ [A1]
[3 marks]

(b) There are 2 intersection points. [A1]
[1 mark]

---

15. (a) Midpoint of $AC$: $\left(\frac{2+5}{2}, \frac{1+7}{2}\right) = (3.5, 4)$ [M1]
Midpoint of $BD$: $\left(\frac{6+1}{2}, \frac{3+5}{2}\right) = (3.5, 4)$ [M1]
Since the diagonals bisect each other, $ABCD$ is a parallelogram. [A1]
[3 marks]

(b) Gradient of $AB$: $\frac{3-1}{6-2} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$ [M1]
Gradient of $BC$: $\frac{7-3}{5-6} = \frac{4}{-1} = -4$
Product of gradients = $\frac{1}{2} \times (-4) = -2 \neq -1$
Therefore, adjacent sides are not perpendicular, so $ABCD$ is not a rectangle. [A1]
[2 marks]

---

16. Equating: $2x + k = x^2 + 4x - 1$ [M1]
$x^2 + 2x - (1 + k) = 0$ [M1]
For two distinct points, discriminant > 0:
$2^2 - 4(1)(-(1+k)) > 0$ [M1]
$4 + 4(1 + k) > 0$
$4 + 4 + 4k > 0$ [M1]
$4k > -8$
$k > -2$ [A1]
[5 marks]

---

17. Original circle: $x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 6y - 3 = 0$
Completing the square: $(x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 16$ [M1]
Centre is $(2, -3)$, radius = $4$.
Reflection in $y$-axis: $x$-coordinate changes sign. [M1]
New centre: $(-2, -3)$
Equation: $(x + 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 16$ [M1]
Expanding: $x^2 + 4x + 4 + y^2 + 6y + 9 = 16$
$x^2 + y^2 + 4x + 6y - 3 = 0$ [A1]
[4 marks]

---

18. (a) Since $PQ$ is parallel to the $x$-axis, $y$-coordinates are equal:
$p^2 - 2p + 5 = q^2 - 2q + 5$ [M1]
$p^2 - 2p = q^2 - 2q$
$(p^2 - q^2) - 2(p - q) = 0$
$(p - q)(p + q) - 2(p - q) = 0$
$(p - q)(p + q - 2) = 0$
Since $p \neq q$, $p + q - 2 = 0$, so $q = 2 - p$ [A1]
[2 marks]

(b) Length $PQ = |p - q| = |p - (2 - p)|$ [M1]
$= |2p - 2| = 2|p - 1|$ [A1]
[2 marks]

---

19. Substitute $y = x + 1$ into $x^2 + y^2 = 25$:
$x^2 + (x + 1)^2 = 25$ [M1]
$x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25$
$2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0$ [M1]
$x^2 + x - 12 = 0$
$(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0$ [M1]
$x = -4$ or $x = 3$
When $x = -4$: $y = -3$; when $x = 3$: $y = 4$
Points: $A(-4, -3)$ and $B(3, 4)$ [M1]
Length $AB = \sqrt{(3-(-4))^2 + (4-(-3))^2} = \sqrt{7^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{98} = \sqrt{49 \times 2} = 7\sqrt{2}$
$= \sqrt{98}$ [A1]
[5 marks]

---

20. Turning point at $(-1, 0)$:
$y = a(x + 1)^2 + 0$ (completed square form) [M1]
$y = a(x^2 + 2x + 1) = ax^2 + 2ax + a$ [M1]
Passes through $(1, 4)$:
$4 = a(1)^2 + 2a(1) + a$ [M1]
$4 = a + 2a + a = 4a$
$a = 1$ [M1]
Therefore: $y = x^2 + 2x + 1$
So $a = 1$, $b = 2$, $c = 1$ [A1]
[5 marks]
