Total Marks: 40 (2 marks each question)

Section A: Lines and Basic Coordinate Geometry

Q1. Gradient = $\frac{7 - 3}{8 - 2} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$.
Teaching note: Gradient formula $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Subtract y-values then x-values in same order.
Marks: 2 (1 for correct substitution, 1 for answer).

Q2. $y = 3x + c$; substitute $(1, -2)$: $-2 = 3(1) + c \Rightarrow c = -5$. Equation: $y = 3x - 5$.
Teaching note: Use $y = mx + c$, plug point to find c.
Marks: 2.

Q3. Set $2x + 1 = -x + 7 \Rightarrow 3x = 6 \Rightarrow x = 2$; $y = 2(2)+1 = 5$. $P(2, 5)$.
Marks: 2.

Q4. Midpoint = $\left(\frac{-1+5}{2}, \frac{4+(-2)}{2}\right) = (2, 1)$.
Teaching note: Midpoint averages coordinates.
Marks: 2.

Q5. Distance = $\sqrt{(3-0)^2 + (4-0)^2} = \sqrt{9+16} = \sqrt{25} = 5$.
Marks: 2.

Section B: Circles

Q6. Centre $(2, -1)$, radius $= \sqrt{16} = 4$.
Teaching note: From $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$, centre $(h,k)$, radius $r$.
Marks: 2.

Q7. $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$.
Marks: 2.

Q8. Complete square: $x^2 - 4x + y^2 + 6y = 12 \Rightarrow (x-2)^2 - 4 + (y+3)^2 - 9 = 12 \Rightarrow (x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 25$. Centre $(2, -3)$.
Marks: 2.

Q9. Midpoint (centre) = $(3, 4)$; radius = distance from $(3,4)$ to $(1,2) = \sqrt{4+4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2}$. Equation: $(x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 8$.
Marks: 2.

Q10. Substitute $y = x+1$: $x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25 \Rightarrow 2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 + x - 12 = 0 \Rightarrow (x+4)(x-3)=0$. Points: $(-4,-3)$ and $(3,4)$.
Marks: 2.

Section C: Curves and Intersections

Q11. $x+2 = x^2 -2x +3 \Rightarrow x^2 -3x +1 = 0$. $x = \frac{3\pm\sqrt{5}}{2}$. $y = x+2$. Points: $\left(\frac{3+\sqrt{5}}{2}, \frac{7+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$, $\left(\frac{3-\sqrt{5}}{2}, \frac{7-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)$.
Marks: 2.

Q12. $2x^2 -3x +1 = x \Rightarrow 2x^2 -4x +1 = 0$. $x = \frac{4\pm\sqrt{8}}{4} = 1 \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.
Marks: 2.

Q13. $y = (x-3)^2 - 4$. Vertex $(3, -4)$.
Marks: 2.

Q14. Substitute $y=2x-1$: $x^2 + (2x-1)^2 -2x -4(2x-1) -20 = 0 \Rightarrow 5x^2 -14x -15 = 0$. $x = \frac{14\pm\sqrt{496}}{10} = \frac{7\pm2\sqrt{31}}{5}$. $y = 2x-1$. Points as in Q14 working.
Marks: 2.

Q15. Vertex $(1,-4)$, y-intercept $(0,-3)$. Graph shows upward parabola. (See placeholder Q15-fig1: must show vertex label, y-intercept label, axis.)
Marks: 2.

Section D: Transformations and Applications

Q16. $y = f(x - 2) - 3$.
Teaching note: Right 2 → $x-2$; down 3 → $-3$.
Marks: 2.

Q17. Reflection in x-axis, vertical stretch factor 2, translate up 4.
Marks: 2.

Q18. Perpendicular gradient $= -2$. $y - 1 = -2(x - 4) \Rightarrow y = -2x + 9$.
Marks: 2.

Q19. Gradient RS = $\frac{1-5}{6-2} = -1$. Gradient of $y=x-1$ is 1. Product $= -1$ ⇒ perpendicular.
Marks: 2.

Q20. $kx^2 +3x -2 = 2x +1 \Rightarrow kx^2 + x -3 = 0$. No intersection ⇒ discriminant $< 0$: $1 + 12k < 0 \Rightarrow k < -\frac{1}{12}$. Also $k \neq 0$ for quadratic; if $k=0$ line intersects. So $k < -\frac{1}{12}$.
Marks: 2.
