Answers

Secondary 1 Mathematics Quiz - Graphs Coordinate Geometry (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40

Section A: Cartesian Coordinates and Plotting (Questions 1–5, 10 marks)

1. (–3, 4)
Marks: 1
Explanation: Moving 3 units left of the origin gives x = –3. Moving 4 units above the x-axis gives y = 4. The coordinates are (–3, 4).

2. (a) Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0)
(b) Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0)
Marks: 1 each
Explanation: Quadrant I: (+, +), Quadrant II: (–, +), Quadrant III: (–, –), Quadrant IV: (+, –). Point A(2, –5) has positive x and negative y → Quadrant IV. Point B(–3, 5) has negative x and positive y → Quadrant II.

3. Points plotted correctly on grid:
P(–4, 2), Q(3, –3), R(0, –4), S(–2, 0)
Marks: 2 (½ mark per correctly plotted and labelled point)
Common mistakes: Confusing x and y coordinates; plotting (–4, 2) as (2, –4); forgetting to label points.

4. (a) AB = 3 units (horizontal distance from x = 1 to x = 4)
(b) BC = 4 units (vertical distance from y = 3 to y = –1)
(c) Area = 3 × 4 = 12 square units
Marks: 1 each
Explanation: For horizontal/vertical lines, length = difference in x-coordinates or y-coordinates. Area of rectangle = length × breadth.

5. (a) P'(–5, –2)
(b) P(7, 4)
Marks: 1 each
Explanation: Reflection in the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinate only: (x, y) → (–x, y).
(a) (5, –2) → (–5, –2).
(b) If P' is (–7, 4), then P is (7, 4) because reflecting (7, 4) in y-axis gives (–7, 4).

Section B: Linear Graphs and Equations (Questions 6–15, 20 marks)

6. (a) Gradient = 2
(b) y-intercept = –3
Marks: 1 each
Explanation: In $y = mx + c$ , $m$ is the gradient and $c$ is the y-intercept. For $y = 2x – 3$ , $m = 2$ , $c = –3$ .

7. (a) Gradient = $\frac{10 - 4}{3 - 0} = \frac{6}{3} = 2$
(b) $y = 2x + 4$
Marks: 1 each
Explanation: Gradient $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{10 - 4}{3 - 0} = 2$ . The line passes through (0, 4), so y-intercept $c = 4$ . Equation: $y = 2x + 4$ .

8. (a) x-intercept: set $y = 0$ , $3x = 12$ , $x = 4$ → (4, 0)
(b) y-intercept: set $x = 0$ , $2y = 12$ , $y = 6$ → (0, 6)
(c) Rearrange: $2y = –3x + 12$ → $y = –\frac{3}{2}x + 6$ , gradient = $–\frac{3}{2}$
Marks: 1 each
Explanation: x-intercept occurs when $y = 0$ ; y-intercept when $x = 0$ . Gradient from $y = mx + c$ form.

9. B
Marks: 1
Explanation: Parallel lines have equal gradients. $y = –4x + 7$ has gradient –4. Option B has gradient –4.

10. Substitute (2, 11) into $y = mx + 5$ :
$11 = m(2) + 5$
$2m = 6$
$m = 3$
Marks: 2 (M1 for substitution, A1 for answer)
Explanation: The point lies on the line, so its coordinates satisfy the equation.

11. (a) $y – 1 = –\frac{3}{2}(x – 4)$
$y – 1 = –\frac{3}{2}x + 6$
$y = –\frac{3}{2}x + 7$

Marks: 2 for (a) (M1 for using point-gradient form, A1 for correct equation), 1 for (b)
Explanation: Use $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$ with $m = –\frac{3}{2}$ and $(x_1, y_1) = (4, 1)$ . y-intercept is $c = 7$ .

12. (a) (3, 0)
(b) (0, 6)
(c) Substitute $y = 2$ into $y = –2x + 6$ :
$2 = –2k + 6$
$2k = 4$
$k = 2$
Marks: 1 each
Explanation: Read intercepts from graph or calculate from equation. For (c), the point (k, 2) lies on the line so coordinates satisfy the equation.

13. (a) Yes. Gradient of $L_1 = 3$ , gradient of $L_2 = –\frac{1}{3}$ . Product = $3 × (–\frac{1}{3}) = –1$ . Perpendicular lines have gradients whose product is –1.
(b) Solve simultaneously:
$3x – 2 = –\frac{1}{3}x + 4$
Multiply by 3: $9x – 6 = –x + 12$
$10x = 18$
$x = 1.8$
$y = 3(1.8) – 2 = 5.4 – 2 = 3.4$
Intersection: (1.8, 3.4) or $(\frac{9}{5}, \frac{17}{5})$
Marks: 2 for (a) (M1 for product of gradients, A1 for conclusion), 2 for (b) (M1 for equating, M1 for solving, A1 for coordinates)
Explanation: Perpendicular condition: $m_1 m_2 = –1$ . Intersection found by solving the two equations simultaneously.

14. (a) $C = 2.50d + 3$
(b) $C = 2.50(12) + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33$ → $33 (c)$ 28 = 2.50d + 32.50d = 25d = 10 $km **Marks:** 1 for (a), 1 for (b), 2 for (c) (M1 for equation, A1 for answer) **Explanation:** Fixed fee = y-intercept = 3. Rate per km = gradient = 2.50. For (c), solve for$ d $when$ C = 28$.

Explanation: Plot all 6 points from table. Draw a straight line through them. Read values from graph. Exact values: $y = 4 – 2(0.5) = 3$ , $y = 4 – 2(1.5) = 1$ .

Section C: Problem Solving and Applications (Questions 16–20, 10 marks)

16. (a) Gradient = $\frac{-1 - 5}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-6}{6} = –1$
(b) $y – 5 = –1(x + 2)$ → $y – 5 = –x – 2$ → $y = –x + 3$
(c) Substitute $x = 10$ : $k = –10 + 3 = –7$
Marks: 1 for (a), 2 for (b) (M1 for point-gradient form, A1 for equation), 1 for (c)
Explanation: Gradient formula. Use point-gradient form with either point. Substitute $x = 10$ into equation to find $k$ .

17. (a) $2x + 3 = –x + 9$
$3x = 6$
$x = 2$
$y = 2(2) + 3 = 7$
Intersection: (2, 7)
(b) Line 1 cuts x-axis at $y = 0$ : $0 = 2x + 3$ → $x = –1.5$ → (–1.5, 0)
Line 1 cuts y-axis at $x = 0$ : $y = 3$ → (0, 3)
Line 2 cuts x-axis at $y = 0$ : $0 = –x + 9$ → $x = 9$ → (9, 0)
Line 2 cuts y-axis at $x = 0$ : $y = 9$ → (0, 9)
The triangle with vertices on axes and intersection (2, 7) uses intercepts of one line. Using Line 1: vertices (–1.5, 0), (0, 3), (2, 7) — not right-angled at axes.
Re-read: "vertex of a right-angled triangle whose other two vertices lie on the x-axis and y-axis respectively" → The intersection (2, 7) is the right angle vertex? No, the other two vertices lie on axes. So triangle vertices: (2, 7), (a, 0), (0, b). For right angle at (2, 7), lines to axes must be perpendicular. But simpler interpretation: The triangle is formed by the intersection point and the intercepts of one line? Actually, the question says "the point of intersection is the vertex of a right-angled triangle whose other two vertices lie on the x-axis and y-axis respectively." This means the triangle has vertices: intersection point P(2,7), point A on x-axis, point B on y-axis, with right angle at P? Or right angle at origin?
Standard interpretation: The triangle is formed by the intersection point and the two intercepts of ONE of the lines? But "other two vertices lie on the x-axis and y-axis respectively" — could be the intercepts of the line joining them?
Let's use the line through (2,7) perpendicular to... Actually, the simplest right triangle with one vertex at (2,7) and other two on axes: drop perpendiculars to axes → vertices (2,7), (2,0), (0,7). Right angle at (2,7)? No, at (2,0) and (0,7) are on axes, but (2,7) to (2,0) is vertical, (2,7) to (0,7) is horizontal → right angle at (2,7). Area = ½ × 2 × 7 = 7.
But the question says "the point of intersection is the vertex of a right-angled triangle whose other two vertices lie on the x-axis and y-axis respectively." This describes the triangle with vertices (2,7), (2,0), (0,7). Area = ½ × base × height = ½ × 2 × 7 = 7 square units.
Marks: 2 for (a) (M1 for equating, A1 for coordinates), 2 for (b) (M1 for identifying triangle vertices, A1 for area)
Explanation: Intersection found by solving simultaneously. The right-angled triangle has vertices at the intersection (2,7), the foot of perpendicular to x-axis (2,0), and foot to y-axis (0,7). These form a right angle at (2,7) with legs of length 2 and 7.

18. (a) Initial volume = 200 litres (when $t = 0$ )
(b) Empty when $V = 0$ : $0 = 200 – 8t$ → $8t = 200$ → $t = 25$ minutes
(c) Graph: Straight line from (0, 200) to (25, 0). Axes labelled. Intercepts marked.
Marks: 1 for (a), 1 for (b), 2 for (c) (1 mark for correct line, 1 mark for labelled intercepts)
Explanation: $V = 200 – 8t$ is linear. At $t = 0$ , $V = 200$ . At $V = 0$ , $t = 25$ . Graph is a straight line segment between these intercepts.

19. (a) Substitute (1, 5): $5 = p(1) + q$ → $p + q = 5$ ...(1)
Substitute (3, 11): $11 = p(3) + q$ → $3p + q = 11$ ...(2)
(2) – (1): $2p = 6$ → $p = 3$
Substitute into (1): $3 + q = 5$ → $q = 2$
(b) Equation: $y = 3x + 2$ . x-intercept: $0 = 3x + 2$ → $3x = –2$ → $x = –\frac{2}{3}$
Marks: 3 for (a) (M1 for two equations, M1 for solving, A1 for p and q), 1 for (b)
Explanation: Two points give two equations in $p$ and $q$ . Solve simultaneously. Then find x-intercept by setting $y = 0$ .

20. (a) $L_1$ has gradient 2. $L_2 \perp L_1$ → gradient of $L_2 = –\frac{1}{2}$
(b) $L_2$ passes through (0, 3), so y-intercept = 3. Equation: $y = –\frac{1}{2}x + 3$
(c) Solve: $2x + 1 = –\frac{1}{2}x + 3$
Multiply by 2: $4x + 2 = –x + 6$
$5x = 4$
$x = 0.8$
$y = 2(0.8) + 1 = 1.6 + 1 = 2.6$
Intersection: (0.8, 2.6) or $(\frac{4}{5}, \frac{13}{5})$
Marks: 1 for (a), 1 for (b), 2 for (c) (M1 for equating, M1 for solving, A1 for coordinates)
Explanation: Perpendicular gradients multiply to –1. Line through (0,3) with gradient –½ has equation $y = –\frac{1}{2}x + 3$ . Intersection found by solving the two equations.
