Section A Answers

1. Gradient of $L_1$ through $A(2,3)$ and $B(6,11)$:
$m = \frac{11 - 3}{6 - 2} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$
Answer: 2 [1 mark]
Teaching note: Gradient formula $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Common mistake: reversing subtraction order inconsistently.

2. Line through $(4,-1)$, gradient $2$:
$y - (-1) = 2(x - 4)$ → $y + 1 = 2x - 8$ → $y = 2x - 9$
Answer: $y = 2x - 9$ [2 marks: 1 for substitution, 1 for final form]
Teaching note: Use point-gradient form $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$.

3. Midpoint of $P(1,2)$ and $Q(7,2)$:
$\left(\frac{1+7}{2}, \frac{2+2}{2}\right) = (4, 2)$
Answer: $(4, 2)$ [1 mark]

4. Centre $(3,-2)$, radius $4$: standard form $(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2$
$(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 16$
Answer: $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 16$ [1 mark]

5. Distance $RS$: $R(-1,5)$, $S(3,-3)$
$d = \sqrt{(3 - (-1))^2 + (-3 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 64} = \sqrt{80} = 4\sqrt{5}$
Answer: $4\sqrt{5}$ [2 marks: 1 for formula, 1 for simplified answer]

6. $y = 2x + 1$ has gradient $2$. Perpendicular gradient $= -\frac{1}{2}$. Through $(0,4)$:
$y - 4 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 0)$ → $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4$
Answer: $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4$ [2 marks]

7. Substitute $(5,1)$ into $3x - 2y = 13$: $3(5) - 2(1) = 15 - 2 = 13$. Yes.
Answer: Yes, it lies on the line [1 mark]

8. $x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0$ → $(x-1)(x-2)=0$ → $x=1$ or $x=2$
Coordinates: $(1,0)$ and $(2,0)$
Answer: $(1,0), (2,0)$ [2 marks]

Section B Answers

9. $x + 1 = x^2 - 3x + 4$ → $x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0$ → $(x-1)(x-3)=0$
$x=1$: $y=2$ → $A(1,2)$; $x=3$: $y=4$ → $B(3,4)$
Answer: $A(1,2), B(3,4)$ [3 marks]

10. Centre $(h,h)$ on $y=x$. Equidistant to $C(2,4)$ and $D(6,2)$:
$(h-2)^2+(h-4)^2 = (h-6)^2+(h-2)^2$ → $(h-4)^2 = (h-6)^2$
$h^2-8h+16 = h^2-12h+36$ → $4h=20$ → $h=5$
Centre $(5,5)$, $r^2 = (5-2)^2+(5-4)^2 = 9+1=10$
Equation: $(x-5)^2+(y-5)^2 = 10$
Answer: $(x-5)^2+(y-5)^2=10$ [3 marks]

11. $y = 2x^2 - 8x + 5$, $\frac{dy}{dx}=4x-8=0$ → $x=2$, $y=2(4)-16+5=-3$
$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=4>0$ → minimum
Answer: $(2,-3)$, minimum [3 marks]

12. (a) Gradient $EF = \frac{3-1}{5-1} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$ [1 mark]
(b) Gradient $EG = \frac{7-1}{3-1} = \frac{6}{2}=3$. Product $= \frac{1}{2}\times 3 = \frac{3}{2} \neq -1$ → NOT perpendicular.
Correction: Use G(3,7) and E(1,1): EG gradient = 3; EF gradient = 1/2; not perpendicular. If intended perpendicular, coordinates differ. As given, show calculation.
Answer: (a) 1/2; (b) not perpendicular as product ≠ -1 [3 marks total]

13. $\frac{4}{x} = -x + 5$ → $4 = -x^2 + 5x$ → $x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0$ → $(x-1)(x-4)=0$
$x=1,y=4$; $x=4,y=1$
Answer: $(1,4), (4,1)$ [3 marks]

14. $x^2+y^2-6x+4y-3=0$ → $(x-3)^2-9+(y+2)^2-4-3=0$ → $(x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=16$
Centre $(3,-2)$, radius $4$
Answer: centre (3,-2), r=4 [2 marks]
