Topic: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry

Section A: Lines and Basic Coordinate Geometry

1. (a) Midpoint of $AB = \left(\frac{-2+4}{2}, \frac{5-1}{2}\right) = (1, 2)$. [1]
Gradient of $AB = \frac{-1-5}{4-(-2)} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1$. [1]
Gradient of perpendicular bisector $= 1$. [1]
Equation: $y - 2 = 1(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = x + 1 \Rightarrow x - y + 1 = 0$. [1]

(b) Height of equilateral triangle $h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \text{side}$.
Side $AB = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6)^2} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}$.
$h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(6\sqrt{2}) = 3\sqrt{6}$.
$C$ lies on the perpendicular bisector at distance $3\sqrt{6}$ from midpoint $(1,2)$.
Direction vector of bisector is $(1,1)$, unit vector $\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$.
$C = (1, 2) \pm 3\sqrt{6}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = (1, 2) \pm (3\sqrt{3}, 3\sqrt{3})$.
Coordinates: $(1+3\sqrt{3}, 2+3\sqrt{3})$ and $(1-3\sqrt{3}, 2-3\sqrt{3})$. [3]
(Accept exact forms)

2. (a) $3x - 4y + 12 = 0 \Rightarrow 4y = 3x + 12 \Rightarrow y = \frac{3}{4}x + 3$. Gradient $m = \frac{3}{4}$. [1]

(b) $L_2$ has gradient $\frac{3}{4}$ and passes through $(6,2)$.
$y - 2 = \frac{3}{4}(x - 6) \Rightarrow 4y - 8 = 3x - 18 \Rightarrow 3x - 4y - 10 = 0$. [2]

(c) $L_3$ is perpendicular to $L_1$, so gradient $m_3 = -\frac{4}{3}$. Passes through $(0,0)$.
Equation $L_3: y = -\frac{4}{3}x \Rightarrow 4x + 3y = 0$. [1]
Intersection of $L_2$ ($3x - 4y = 10$) and $L_3$ ($y = -\frac{4}{3}x$):
$3x - 4(-\frac{4}{3}x) = 10 \Rightarrow 3x + \frac{16}{3}x = 10 \Rightarrow \frac{25}{3}x = 10 \Rightarrow x = \frac{30}{25} = \frac{6}{5} = 1.2$.
$y = -\frac{4}{3}(1.2) = -1.6$.
Coordinates: $(1.2, -1.6)$. [2]

3. (a) Midpoint of $PR = (\frac{1+6}{2}, \frac{2+1}{2}) = (3.5, 1.5)$.
Midpoint of $QS = (\frac{5+2}{2}, \frac{4-1}{2}) = (3.5, 1.5)$.
Since diagonals bisect each other, $PQRS$ is a parallelogram. [3]
(Alternatively, show opposite sides parallel via gradients)

(b) Vector $\vec{PQ} = (4, 2)$, Vector $\vec{PS} = (1, -3)$.
Area $= |x_1 y_2 - x_2 y_1| = |4(-3) - 2(1)| = |-12 - 2| = 14$. [2]

4. (a) Let $P(x,y)$. $PA = 2PB \Rightarrow PA^2 = 4PB^2$.
$(x-3)^2 + y^2 = 4[(x+1)^2 + y^2]$. [1]
$x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 = 4(x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2)$.
$x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 = 4x^2 + 8x + 4 + 4y^2$.
$3x^2 + 14x + 3y^2 - 5 = 0$. [2]
Divide by 3: $x^2 + \frac{14}{3}x + y^2 - \frac{5}{3} = 0$. This is the equation of a circle. [1]

(b) Complete square for $x$: $(x + \frac{7}{3})^2 - \frac{49}{9} + y^2 = \frac{5}{3} = \frac{15}{9}$.
$(x + \frac{7}{3})^2 + y^2 = \frac{64}{9}$.
Centre: $(-\frac{7}{3}, 0)$. Radius: $\sqrt{\frac{64}{9}} = \frac{8}{3}$. [2]

5. Intersection: $x^2 - 4x + 7 = 2x + k \Rightarrow x^2 - 6x + (7-k) = 0$. [1]
For two distinct points, discriminant $\Delta > 0$. [1]
$\Delta = (-6)^2 - 4(1)(7-k) = 36 - 28 + 4k = 8 + 4k$. [1]
$8 + 4k > 0 \Rightarrow 4k > -8 \Rightarrow k > -2$. [1]

Section B: Circles and Intersections

6. (a) $x^2 - 6x + y^2 + 8y = 11$.
$(x-3)^2 - 9 + (y+4)^2 - 16 = 11$.
$(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 36$.
Centre $(3, -4)$, Radius $r = 6$. [3]

(b) Gradient of radius to $(1,2)$: $m = \frac{2-(-4)}{1-3} = \frac{6}{-2} = -3$.
Gradient of tangent $= \frac{1}{3}$. [1]
Equation: $y - 2 = \frac{1}{3}(x - 1) \Rightarrow 3y - 6 = x - 1 \Rightarrow x - 3y + 5 = 0$. [2]

7. (a) Subtract equations: $(x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 6y + 9) - (x^2 + y^2 + 2x - 2y - 3) = 0$.
$-6x - 4y + 12 = 0 \Rightarrow 3x + 2y - 6 = 0$. [3]

(b) From chord eqn: $2y = 6 - 3x \Rightarrow y = 3 - 1.5x$.
Sub into $C_2$: $x^2 + (3-1.5x)^2 + 2x - 2(3-1.5x) - 3 = 0$.
$x^2 + 9 - 9x + 2.25x^2 + 2x - 6 + 3x - 3 = 0$.
$3.25x^2 - 4x = 0 \Rightarrow x(3.25x - 4) = 0$.
$x = 0$ or $x = \frac{4}{3.25} = \frac{16}{13}$.
If $x=0, y=3$. Point $A(0,3)$.
If $x=\frac{16}{13}, y = 3 - \frac{3}{2}(\frac{16}{13}) = 3 - \frac{24}{13} = \frac{15}{13}$. Point $B(\frac{16}{13}, \frac{15}{13})$. [4]

8. (a) Distance squared from $(2,-3)$ to $(5,1)$: $(5-2)^2 + (1-(-3))^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9+16=25=r^2$. Yes. [1]

(b) Normal passes through centre $(2,-3)$ and $P(5,1)$.
Gradient $m = \frac{1-(-3)}{5-2} = \frac{4}{3}$.
Eq: $y - 1 = \frac{4}{3}(x - 5) \Rightarrow 3y - 3 = 4x - 20 \Rightarrow 4x - 3y - 17 = 0$. [2]

(c) Tangent gradient $= -3/4$. Eq: $y - 1 = -\frac{3}{4}(x - 5) \Rightarrow 4y - 4 = -3x + 15 \Rightarrow 3x + 4y = 19$.
x-intercept $T$: $y=0 \Rightarrow 3x=19 \Rightarrow x=19/3$.
y-intercept $U$: $x=0 \Rightarrow 4y=19 \Rightarrow y=19/4$.
Area $OTU = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{19}{3} \times \frac{19}{4} = \frac{361}{24} \approx 15.0$. [4]

9. (a) General eq: $x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$.
Passes through $(0,0) \Rightarrow c=0$.
Passes through $(0,4) \Rightarrow 16 + 8f = 0 \Rightarrow f = -2$.
Passes through $(4,0) \Rightarrow 16 + 8g = 0 \Rightarrow g = -2$.
Eq: $x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 4y = 0$. [3]

(b) Tangent at origin. Centre $(-g, -f) = (2, 2)$.
Gradient radius $= \frac{2-0}{2-0} = 1$.
Gradient tangent $= -1$.
Eq: $y = -x$ or $x + y = 0$. [2]

10. (a) Substitute $y=mx$ into $(x-4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 5$.
$(x-4)^2 + (mx-2)^2 = 5$.
$x^2 - 8x + 16 + m^2x^2 - 4mx + 4 = 5$.
$(1+m^2)x^2 - (8+4m)x + 15 = 0$.
For tangent, $\Delta = 0$.
$(8+4m)^2 - 4(1+m^2)(15) = 0$.
$64 + 64m + 16m^2 - 60 - 60m^2 = 0$.
$-44m^2 + 64m + 4 = 0$. Divide by -4: $11m^2 - 16m - 1 = 0$.
Wait, let's recheck the question target equation $3m^2 - 8m + 3 = 0$.
Let's check distance from centre $(4,2)$ to line $mx - y = 0$.
$d = \frac{|4m - 2|}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} = \sqrt{5}$.
$(4m-2)^2 = 5(m^2+1)$.
$16m^2 - 16m + 4 = 5m^2 + 5$.
$11m^2 - 16m - 1 = 0$.
Correction in Question Logic for Answer Key: The question asked to show $3m^2 - 8m + 3 = 0$. This implies a different circle or line. Let's assume the question meant circle $(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 5$? No, let's stick to the derived answer.
Self-Correction for Generation: The prompt asks for generated content. I will provide the answer based on the calculation derived from the question text provided in the exam paper.
Calculated Equation: $11m^2 - 16m - 1 = 0$.
Note: If the question intended $3m^2 - 8m + 3 = 0$, the circle might be $(x-2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = ...$ or similar. Given the static text, I will provide the mathematically correct derivation for the stated problem.
However, to match the "Show that" instruction usually implying the prompt is correct, let's re-read carefully.
Line $y=mx$. Circle $(x-4)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 5$.
Distance from $(4,2)$ to $mx-y=0$ is $\sqrt{5}$.
$\frac{|4m-2|}{\sqrt{m^2+1}} = \sqrt{5} \Rightarrow 16m^2 - 16m + 4 = 5m^2 + 5 \Rightarrow 11m^2 - 16m - 1 = 0$.
The prompt's target equation $3m^2 - 8m + 3 = 0$ corresponds to a circle with centre $(2,1)$ radius $\sqrt{2}$? Or centre $(4,2)$ radius $\sqrt{20}$?
Let's adjust the answer key to reflect the actual math of the question written.
Answer: The equation derived is $11m^2 - 16m - 1 = 0$.
(Note to user: In a real exam generation, the question numbers would be tuned to match the target. Here, we provide the rigorous solution to the printed question.)

(b) $m = \frac{16 \pm \sqrt{256 - 4(11)(-1)}}{22} = \frac{16 \pm \sqrt{300}}{22} = \frac{16 \pm 10\sqrt{3}}{22} = \frac{8 \pm 5\sqrt{3}}{11}$. [2]

11. (a) $PA^2 = (x+1)^2 + (y-3)^2$. $PB^2 = (x-5)^2 + (y-7)^2$.
$(x^2+2x+1 + y^2-6y+9) + (x^2-10x+25 + y^2-14y+49) = 60$.
$2x^2 - 8x + 2y^2 - 20y + 84 = 60$.
$2x^2 - 8x + 2y^2 - 20y + 24 = 0$.
$x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 10y + 12 = 0$. [4]

(b) Circle. [1]

12. (a) $A(1,1), C(5,4)$. Gradient $m = \frac{4-1}{5-1} = \frac{3}{4}$.
Eq: $y - 1 = \frac{3}{4}(x - 1) \Rightarrow 4y - 4 = 3x - 3 \Rightarrow 3x - 4y + 1 = 0$. [2]

(b) Distance from $B(5,1)$ to $3x - 4y + 1 = 0$.
$d = \frac{|3(5) - 4(1) + 1|}{\sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2}} = \frac{|15 - 4 + 1|}{5} = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4$. [3]

(c) Base $AC = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = 5$.
Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 2.4 = 6$. [2]
(Check: Rectangle area $4 \times 3 = 12$. Triangle is half. Correct.)

13. (a) Line eq: $y - 3 = m(x - 2)$.
x-intercept $A$ ($y=0$): $-3 = m(x-2) \Rightarrow x - 2 = -3/m \Rightarrow x = 2 - 3/m$. $A(2 - \frac{3}{m}, 0)$.
y-intercept $B$ ($x=0$): $y - 3 = m(-2) \Rightarrow y = 3 - 2m$. $B(0, 3 - 2m)$. [3]

(b) Midpoint $M(X, Y)$.
$X = \frac{2 - 3/m + 0}{2} = 1 - \frac{3}{2m} \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2m} = 1 - X \Rightarrow m = \frac{3}{2(1-X)}$.
$Y = \frac{0 + 3 - 2m}{2} = \frac{3}{2} - m \Rightarrow m = \frac{3}{2} - Y$.
Equate $m$: $\frac{3}{2(1-X)} = \frac{3 - 2Y}{2}$.
$3 = (1-X)(3-2Y)$.
$3 = 3 - 2Y - 3X + 2XY$.
$2XY - 3X - 2Y = 0$. [4]

14. (a) $x^2 - 2x + 3 = x + 1 \Rightarrow x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0$.

15. (a) Distance from centre $(0,0)$ to $3x + 4y - k = 0$ equals radius $5$.
$\frac{|-k|}{\sqrt{3^2+4^2}} = 5 \Rightarrow \frac{|k|}{5} = 5 \Rightarrow |k| = 25$.
$k = 25$ or $k = -25$. [4]

(b) $k=15$. $3x + 4y = 15 \Rightarrow y = \frac{15-3x}{4}$.
$x^2 + (\frac{15-3x}{4})^2 = 25$.
$16x^2 + (225 - 90x + 9x^2) = 400$.
$25x^2 - 90x - 175 = 0$. Divide by 5: $5x^2 - 18x - 35 = 0$.
$(5x + 7)(x - 5) = 0$.
$x = 5$ or $x = -1.4$.
If $x=5, y=0$. Point $(5,0)$.
If $x=-1.4, y = \frac{15 - 3(-1.4)}{4} = \frac{19.2}{4} = 4.8$. Point $(-1.4, 4.8)$. [3]

16. (a) Centre = Midpoint $AB = (5, 3)$.
Radius squared $= (5-2)^2 + (3-5)^2 = 9 + 4 = 13$.
Eq: $(x-5)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 13$. [3]

(b) $AC=BC$ means $C$ lies on perpendicular bisector of $AB$.
Gradient $AB = \frac{1-5}{8-2} = \frac{-4}{6} = -\frac{2}{3}$.
Perp gradient $= \frac{3}{2}$.
Midpoint $(5,3)$. Eq: $y - 3 = \frac{3}{2}(x - 5) \Rightarrow 2y - 6 = 3x - 15 \Rightarrow 3x - 2y - 9 = 0$.
Intersect with circle: Substitute $y = \frac{3x-9}{2}$ into circle eq.
$(x-5)^2 + (\frac{3x-9}{2} - 3)^2 = 13$.
$(x-5)^2 + (\frac{3x-15}{2})^2 = 13$.
$(x-5)^2 + \frac{9}{4}(x-5)^2 = 13$.
$\frac{13}{4}(x-5)^2 = 13 \Rightarrow (x-5)^2 = 4 \Rightarrow x-5 = \pm 2$.
$x = 7$ or $x = 3$.
If $x=7, y = \frac{21-9}{2} = 6$. $C(7,6)$.
If $x=3, y = \frac{9-9}{2} = 0$. $C(3,0)$. [4]

17. (a) $y = 5 - 2x$. Sub into $L_2$: $x - 2(5-2x) = 0 \Rightarrow x - 10 + 4x = 0 \Rightarrow 5x = 10 \Rightarrow x = 2$.
$y = 5 - 4 = 1$. $P(2,1)$. [2]

(b) Gradient $OP = \frac{1-0}{2-0} = 0.5$.
Gradient $L_3 = -2$.
Passes through $P(2,1)$.
$y - 1 = -2(x - 2) \Rightarrow y = -2x + 5$. [3]

18. (a) $AB$ is on x-axis ($y=0$). Altitude from $C(2,4)$ is vertical line $x=2$. [2]

(b) Midpoint $AC = (1, 2)$. Gradient $AC = \frac{4-0}{2-0} = 2$.
Perp gradient $= -0.5$.
Eq: $y - 2 = -0.5(x - 1) \Rightarrow 2y - 4 = -x + 1 \Rightarrow x + 2y = 5$. [3]

(c) Circumcentre is intersection of altitudes/bisectors.
Intersect $x=2$ and $x+2y=5$.
$2 + 2y = 5 \Rightarrow 2y = 3 \Rightarrow y = 1.5$.
Centre $(2, 1.5)$. [2]

19. (a) $PF^2 = x^2 + (y-4)^2$. Distance to line $y=-4$ is $|y+4|$.
$x^2 + (y-4)^2 = (y+4)^2$.
$x^2 + y^2 - 8y + 16 = y^2 + 8y + 16$.
$x^2 = 16y$. [4]

(b) Parabola. [1]

20. (a) $C_1$ Centre $(1,2)$, $r_1 = 3$.
$C_2$ Centre $(4,6)$, $r_2 = 2$.
Distance between centres $d = \sqrt{(4-1)^2 + (6-2)^2} = \sqrt{9+16} = 5$.
Sum of radii $r_1 + r_2 = 3 + 2 = 5$.
Since $d = r_1 + r_2$, they touch externally. [3]

(b) Point of contact divides centre line in ratio $3:2$.
$P = \frac{2(1,2) + 3(4,6)}{5} = \frac{(2+12, 4+18)}{5} = \frac{(14, 22)}{5} = (2.8, 4.4)$. [3]
