Secondary 2 Mathematics Quiz - Graphs Coordinate Geometry (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry

---

Section A

1. [2 marks]
Coordinates: $(3, 2)$
Teaching note: The origin is $(0,0)$. Moving 3 right increases x by 3, moving 2 up increases y by 2. So $(0+3, 0+2) = (3,2)$.
Mark scheme: 1 mark for correct x, 1 mark for correct y.

2. [1 mark]
Gradient = $4$
Teaching note: For $y = mx + c$, $m$ is the gradient. Here $m=4$.

3. [1 mark]
Gradient = $\frac{6-0}{2-0} = 3$
Teaching note: Gradient = vertical change ÷ horizontal change = $\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$.

4. [1 mark]
Equation: $y = -3$
Teaching note: A horizontal line has constant y-value; passes through y = -3 for all x.

5. [1 mark]
Length $AB = 4 - 1 = 3$ units
Teaching note: Same y-coordinate, so distance is difference in x: $|4-1| = 3$.

---

Section B

6. [2 marks]
Plot P(1,1), Q(3,4), R(5,1) and join.
Mark scheme: 1 mark for correct plots, 1 mark for triangle formed.

7. [2 marks]
$m = \frac{-1 - 3}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-4}{6} = -\frac{2}{3}$
Teaching note: Use $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$. Common mistake: wrong sign on denominator.

8. [2 marks]
$y - 5 = -2(x - 1)$ → $y = -2x + 2 + 5 = -2x + 7$
Teaching note: Use $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$. Final form $y = -2x + 7$.

9. [1 mark]
$C = (0, 1)$
Teaching note: y-intercept is where x=0; substitute x=0 into equation.

10. [2 marks]
$DE = |8 - 3| = 5$ units (same x-coordinate)
Teaching note: Vertical distance = difference in y-values.

11. [2 marks]
$y = \frac{1}{2}x + 4$
Teaching note: y-intercept c=4, gradient m=1/2, so $y = mx + c$.

12. [2 marks]
Fourth vertex = $(5, 4)$
Teaching note: Rectangle: opposite sides equal and parallel. x matches (5,1), y matches (1,4).

13. [2 marks]
Midpoint = $\left(\frac{-3+5}{2}, \frac{2+(-4)}{2}\right) = (1, -1)$
Teaching note: Midpoint formula: $\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$.

14. [2 marks]
$y = 3x + 1$
Teaching note: Parallel lines have same gradient (m=3); passes through (0,1) so c=1.

15. [3 marks]
Gradient = $\frac{6-2}{4-0} = 1$; y-intercept = $2$
Mark scheme: 2 marks gradient, 1 mark intercept.
Teaching note: From graph, line through (0,2) and (4,6).

---

Section C

16. [3 marks]
Equation: $C = 2d + 3$. Points: (0,3), (1,5), (2,7), (3,9), (4,11). Plot and join.
Mark scheme: 1 mark equation/points, 2 marks correct plot.

17. [1 mark]
Cost = 2(3.5) + 3 = \10$
Teaching note: From graph or equation.

18. [2 marks]
$m = \frac{8-2}{4-1} = 2$; $y - 2 = 2(x - 1)$ → $y = 2x$
Teaching note: Line passes through origin after simplification.

19. [2 marks]
$XY = \sqrt{(2+1)^2 + (1+2)^2} = \sqrt{18}$; $YZ = \sqrt{(5-2)^2 + (-2-1)^2} = \sqrt{18}$. So $XY = YZ$, isosceles.
Teaching note: Use distance formula; two equal sides.

20. [2 marks]
$m = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$; through (0,0) so $y = \frac{1}{2}x$.
Teaching note: Gradient from origin, equation direct proportion.
