Answers

Secondary 2 Mathematics Quiz - Graphs Coordinate Geometry

Answer Key

Question 1 [2]

Answer: Points plotted correctly on the Cartesian plane.

A(2, 5): 2 units right, 5 units up
B(−3, 4): 3 units left, 4 units up
C(−4, −2): 4 units left, 2 units down
D(1, −3): 1 unit right, 3 units down

Marking: 1 mark for correct plotting of all four points. 1 mark for clear labels.

Common mistake: Confusing the order of (x, y); students sometimes plot (y, x).

Question 2 [2]

(a) P(−2, 6): Quadrant II; Q(5, 6): Quadrant I; R(5, −1): Quadrant IV; S(−2, −1): Quadrant III.

(b) Rectangle (or square).

Working:

PQ is horizontal (same y-coordinate 6): length = |5 − (−2)| = 7 units
QR is vertical (same x-coordinate 5): length = |6 − (−1)| = 7 units
All angles are 90° and opposite sides are equal → square

Marking: 1 mark for correct plotting/description. 1 mark for identifying the shape as a rectangle or square.

Question 3 [2]

Answer: T(−7, 0)

Working: Any point on the x-axis has y-coordinate 0.

Marking: 2 marks for correct answer. 1 mark for showing understanding that y = 0.

Question 4 [2]

Answer: M'(4, 5)

Working: Reflection in the x-axis: the x-coordinate stays the same, the y-coordinate changes sign. (4, −5) → (4, 5)

Marking: 2 marks for correct answer. Accept (4, 5) only.

Question 5 [2]

(a) N(−6, −3): Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0)

(d) R(0, 5): On the y-axis (not in any quadrant, since x = 0)

Marking: 1 mark for all four correct. 0 marks if two or more are wrong.

Common mistake: Students may say R is in Quadrant I. Points on an axis are not in any quadrant.

Question 6 [3]

Answer: Gradient = 2

Working:

Gradient = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁)
         = (11 − 3) / (5 − 1)

         = (−12) / 6
         = −2

(b) The line slopes downwards from left to right because the gradient is negative.

Marking: 2 marks for correct gradient calculation. 1 mark for correct direction with reason.

  = −6 − 4
  = −10

Marking: 1 mark each part.

Question 9 [3]

Answer: y = 2x + 1

Working:

y = mx + c
m = 2, so y = 2x + c

Substitute (3, 7):
7 = 2(3) + c
7 = 6 + c
c = 1

Equation: y = 2x + 1

Marking: 1 mark for using y = mx + c. 1 mark for correct substitution. 1 mark for correct final equation.

Question 10 [3]

(a) Gradient = 1/2

Working:

Gradient = (0 − (−3)) / (6 − 0)
         = 3 / 6
         = 1/2

(b) y = (1/2)x − 3

Working: The y-intercept is −3 (from point C(0, −3)). So c = −3.

Working: L₂ passes through (0, 5), so c = 5.

(d) C divides AB in the ratio 1:3.

Working:

C = ((1×7 + 3×(−3))/(1+3), (1×(−6) + 3×2)/(1+3))

Gradient = (−1 − 5) / (8 − 2) = −6/6 = −1
y = −x + c
Substitute A(2, 5): 5 = −2 + c, so c = 7

(b) y = −x + 9

Working: Parallel lines have the same gradient (−1). Passes through (0, 9), so c = 9.

(c) (0, 9) — this is the y-intercept.

(d) Midpoint of AB = (5, 2)

Working:

Midpoint = ((2 + 8)/2, (5 + (−1))/2) = (10/2, 4/2) = (5, 2)

Question 20 [5]

(a) Map distance = 14.42 units (to 2 d.p.)

Working:

Distance = √[(14 − 2)² + (11 − 3)²]
         = √[12² + 8²]
         = √[144 + 64]
         = √208
         = 14.422... ≈ 14.42 units

(b) Actual distance = 14.42 × 2 = 28.84 km (or √208 × 2 = 2√208 ≈ 28.84 km)

(c) R = (8, 7)

Working:

Midpoint = ((2 + 14)/2, (3 + 11)/2) = (16/2, 14/2) = (8, 7)

(d) y = −(1/2)x + 11

Working:

y = −(1/2)x + c
Substitute R(8, 7): 7 = −(1/2)(8) + c = −4 + c, so c = 11

(e) 10 km actual = 5 units on the map.

Let Z = (x, y) lie on the line y = −(1/2)x + 11, at distance 5 from R(8, 7).

(x − 8)² + (y − 7)² = 25
y = −(1/2)x + 11

Substitute:
(x − 8)² + (−(1/2)x + 11 − 7)² = 25
(x − 8)² + (−(1/2)x + 4)² = 25
(x − 8)² + (4 − x/2)² = 25

Expand:
(x² − 16x + 64) + (16 − 4x + x²/4) = 25
x² + x²/4 − 16x − 4x + 64 + 16 = 25
(5x²/4) − 20x + 80 = 25
5x²/4 − 20x + 55 = 0
Multiply by 4: 5x² − 80x + 220 = 0
Divide by 5: x² − 16x + 44 = 0

x = [16 ± √(256 − 176)] / 2
  = [16 ± √80] / 2
  = [16 ± 8.944] / 2
  = 12.472 or 3.528

x ≈ 12.5 or 3.5 (to 1 d.p.)

When x = 12.5: y = −(1/2)(12.5) + 11 = −6.25 + 11 = 4.75 ≈ 4.8
When x = 3.5: y = −(1/2)(3.5) + 11 = −1.75 + 11 = 9.25 ≈ 9.3
