Topic: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry
Total Marks: 80

Section A: Lines and Basic Coordinate Geometry

1. (a) Gradient $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-1 - 5}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1$ . [1] (b) Using $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$ : $y - 5 = -1(x - (-2))$ $y - 5 = -x - 2$ $y = -x + 3$ . [2] (1 for method, 1 for correct equation) (c) At y-intercept, $x=0$ . From (b), $y=3$ . Coordinates of $C$ are $(0, 3)$ . [1]

2. (a) Rearrange $3x - 2y + 6 = 0$ to $2y = 3x + 6 \Rightarrow y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3$ . Gradient of $L_1$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ . [1] (b) Gradient of perpendicular line $L_2$ is $-\frac{1}{m_1} = -\frac{2}{3}$ . [1] Equation: $y - 1 = -\frac{2}{3}(x - 4)$ . $3(y - 1) = -2(x - 4)$ $3y - 3 = -2x + 8$ $2x + 3y = 11$ . [2] (1 for correct gradient usage, 1 for final form)

3. (a) Calculate lengths: $PQ = \sqrt{(5-1)^2 + (6-2)^2} = \sqrt{16+16} = \sqrt{32}$ . $QR = \sqrt{(9-5)^2 + (2-6)^2} = \sqrt{16+16} = \sqrt{32}$ . $PR = \sqrt{(9-1)^2 + (2-2)^2} = \sqrt{64} = 8$ . Since $PQ = QR$ , $\triangle PQR$ is isosceles. [2] (1 for lengths, 1 for conclusion) (b) Base $PR$ is horizontal, length $= 8$ . Height is vertical distance from $Q(5,6)$ to line $y=2$ (line PR). Height $= 6 - 2 = 4$ . Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 4 = 16$ units $^2$ . [2]

4. Midpoint $M$ of $AB$ : $x_M = \frac{2+k}{2}$ , $y_M = \frac{-3+7}{2} = 2$ . So $M(\frac{2+k}{2}, 2)$ . Since $M$ lies on $y = 2x + 1$ : $2 = 2(\frac{2+k}{2}) + 1$ $2 = (2+k) + 1$ $2 = 3 + k$ $k = -1$ . [3] (1 for midpoint coords, 1 for substitution, 1 for answer)

5. (a) Equate $y$ : $x^2 - 4x + 7 = 2x + k$ . $x^2 - 6x + (7-k) = 0$ . [1] (b) For tangent, discriminant $\Delta = 0$ . $b^2 - 4ac = 0$ $(-6)^2 - 4(1)(7-k) = 0$ $36 - 28 + 4k = 0$ $8 + 4k = 0$ $4k = -8 \Rightarrow k = -2$ . [3] (1 for discriminant condition, 1 for substitution, 1 for answer)

Section B: Circles

6. (a) Complete the square: $(x^2 - 6x) + (y^2 + 8y) = 11$ $(x-3)^2 - 9 + (y+4)^2 - 16 = 11$ $(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 36$ . Centre is $(3, -4)$ . [2] (b) $r^2 = 36 \Rightarrow r = 6$ . [2]

7. (a) Centre is midpoint of $AB$ : $(\frac{1+7}{2}, \frac{4+(-2)}{2}) = (4, 1)$ . [1] (b) Radius squared $r^2 = (4-1)^2 + (1-4)^2 = 3^2 + (-3)^2 = 9 + 9 = 18$ . Equation: $(x-4)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 18$ . [3] (1 for radius calc, 1 for form, 1 for accuracy)

8. (a) Substitute $y = x+2$ into $x^2 + y^2 = 20$ : $x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 20$ $x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 20$ $2x^2 + 4x - 16 = 0$ $x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0$ $(x+4)(x-2) = 0$ $x = -4$ or $x = 2$ . If $x = -4, y = -4+2 = -2$ . Point $P(-4, -2)$ . If $x = 2, y = 2+2 = 4$ . Point $Q(2, 4)$ . Coordinates are $(-4, -2)$ and $(2, 4)$ . [4] (1 for quadratic, 1 for x-values, 1 for y-values, 1 for pairs) (b) Length $PQ = \sqrt{(2 - (-4))^2 + (4 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}$ (or approx 8.49). [2]

9. (a) Distance from centre $(3, -1)$ to y-axis ( $x=0$ ) is $|3| = 3$ . Radius $= 3$ . [1] (b) $(x-3)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 3^2 = 9$ . [1] (c) Substitute $(6, 2)$ into LHS of equation: $(6-3)^2 + (2+1)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 = 9 + 9 = 18$ . Since $18 > 9$ (RHS), the point lies outside the circle. [2] (1 for substitution/calc, 1 for conclusion)

10. (a) $C_1$ : $(x-2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 12 + 4 + 9 = 25$ . Centre $O_1(2, 3)$ , $r_1 = 5$ . $C_2$ : $(x+1)^2 + (y+4)^2 = -13 + 1 + 16 = 4$ . Centre $O_2(-1, -4)$ , $r_2 = 2$ . Distance $O_1O_2 = \sqrt{(-1-2)^2 + (-4-3)^2} = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-7)^2} = \sqrt{9+49} = \sqrt{58} \approx 7.62$ . Sum of radii $r_1 + r_2 = 5 + 2 = 7$ . Wait, $\sqrt{58} \neq 7$ . Let me re-check the question constants for "touching". Correction for consistent problem: Let's adjust $C_2$ constant to make them touch. If they touch externally, distance must equal sum of radii. Let's assume the question implies calculation. $\sqrt{58} \approx 7.62$ . Sum radii $= 7$ . They do not touch. Self-Correction for Answer Key Generation: I must ensure the generated question in the prompt was solvable as "touching". Let's re-evaluate Q10 in the prompt context. Prompt Q10: $C_1: x^2+y^2-4x-6y-12=0 \rightarrow (x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=25$ . $r_1=5, O_1(2,3)$ . $C_2: x^2+y^2+2x+8y+13=0 \rightarrow (x+1)^2+(y+4)^2 = -13+1+16=4$ . $r_2=2, O_2(-1,-4)$ . Dist $O_1O_2 = \sqrt{58}$ . Sum $r = 7$ . $\sqrt{49}=7$ . $\sqrt{58} > 7$ . They are separate. Note: In a real exam generation, I would have tuned the constant in $C_2$ to be $+16$ (making $r^2=1$ , dist $\sqrt{58}$ no) or changed coordinates. Adjustment for this Key: I will treat the question as "Show that they do NOT touch" or assume a typo in the prompt's generated numbers. However, to be helpful, I will provide the solution for the numbers given, noting they are separate, OR I will assume the standard "Touching" template was intended and provide the method. Better Approach: I will provide the method for checking contact. Distance $O_1O_2 = \sqrt{58}$ . $r_1 + r_2 = 7 = \sqrt{49}$ . Since $\sqrt{58} > \sqrt{49}$ , the circles are separate and do not touch. However, usually these questions ask to show they touch. Let's assume the constant in $C_2$ was meant to be such that $r_2$ or distance aligned. Let's modify the answer to reflect the method required for "Show that...":

Find centres and radii.
Calculate distance between centres.
Compare with sum/difference of radii. For the purpose of this key, I will state: Centres: $(2,3)$ and $(-1,-4)$ . Radii: $5$ and $2$ . Distance $= \sqrt{58}$ . Sum $= 7$ . They do not touch. (If the question intended them to touch, the constant in $C_2$ should have been different, e.g., if $C_2$ radius was $\sqrt{58}-5$ ). Alternative: Let's assume the question asked to "Determine the relative position". Answer: Separate. To align with the "Show that they touch externally" instruction in the prompt: I will assume a typo in the prompt's generated numbers and provide the solution for a scenario where they do touch, e.g., if $O_2$ was $(2, -2)$ and $r_2=2$ , dist=5, sum=7 no. Let's stick to the calculated truth: They do not touch. (Self-Correction: To ensure the user gets a valid "Model Answer" for a "Touching" question, I will provide the steps for a corrected version where $C_2$ is $x^2+y^2+2x-2y-7=0 \rightarrow (x+1)^2+(y-1)^2=9$ . Centre $(-1,1), r=3$ . Dist to $(2,3) = \sqrt{3^2+2^2}=\sqrt{13}$ . Sum $5+3=8$ . Still no. Let's just provide the rigorous check.) Answer: Centre $C_1(2,3), r_1=5$ . Centre $C_2(-1,-4), r_2=2$ . Distance $d = \sqrt{58} \approx 7.62$ . $r_1+r_2 = 7$ . Since $d > r_1+r_2$ , the circles are separate. (Note: If the question intended external touch, the parameters would need adjustment. The method shown is correct.) [4]

(b) Since they do not touch, there is no point of contact. (If they did touch, the point divides $O_1O_2$ in ratio $r_1:r_2$ .) [0/N/A]

Refined Q10 for future generation: Ensure $d = r_1+r_2$ .

11. (a) Gradient of $AC$ is $1/2$ . Diagonal $BD$ is perpendicular. Gradient $BD = -2$ . Passes through $M(2,3)$ . $y - 3 = -2(x - 2) \Rightarrow y = -2x + 7$ . [3] (b) $M(2,3)$ is midpoint of $BD$ . Length $BD=10 \Rightarrow BM=MD=5$ . Let $B = (x,y)$ . Distance $MB = 5$ . Also $B$ lies on $y = -2x + 7$ . $(x-2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 25$ . Sub $y-3 = -2(x-2)$ : $(x-2)^2 + [-2(x-2)]^2 = 25$ $(x-2)^2 + 4(x-2)^2 = 25$ $5(x-2)^2 = 25 \Rightarrow (x-2)^2 = 5$ . $x - 2 = \pm\sqrt{5} \Rightarrow x = 2 \pm \sqrt{5}$ . If $x = 2+\sqrt{5}, y = -2(2+\sqrt{5}) + 7 = -4 - 2\sqrt{5} + 7 = 3 - 2\sqrt{5}$ . If $x = 2-\sqrt{5}, y = -2(2-\sqrt{5}) + 7 = 3 + 2\sqrt{5}$ . Coordinates: $(2+\sqrt{5}, 3-2\sqrt{5})$ and $(2-\sqrt{5}, 3+2\sqrt{5})$ . [4]

12. (a) Equation $y = ax^2 + b$ . Linear form $Y = mX + c$ . Plot $y$ on vertical axis, $x^2$ on horizontal axis. [1] (b) (i) Gradient $m = \frac{37-10}{5-2} = \frac{27}{3} = 9$ . [1] (ii) $Y = 9X + c$ . Using $(2, 10)$ where $X=x^2=4$ : $10 = 9(4) + c \Rightarrow 10 = 36 + c \Rightarrow c = -26$ . Comparing to $y = ax^2 + b$ : $a = \text{gradient} = 9$ . $b = \text{intercept} = -26$ . [3]

13. (a) $6 = k/2 \Rightarrow k = 12$ . [1] (b) $y = 12x^{-1}$ . $\frac{dy}{dx} = -12x^{-2} = -\frac{12}{x^2}$ . At $x=2$ , gradient of tangent $m_t = -\frac{12}{4} = -3$ . Gradient of normal $m_n = \frac{-1}{-3} = \frac{1}{3}$ . Equation of normal: $y - 6 = \frac{1}{3}(x - 2)$ . Intersects x-axis ( $y=0$ ): $-6 = \frac{1}{3}(x - 2)$ $-18 = x - 2$ $x = -16$ . Coordinates of $N$ are $(-16, 0)$ . [4]

14. $PA = 2 PB \Rightarrow PA^2 = 4 PB^2$ . $PA^2 = (x-0)^2 + (y-4)^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 8y + 16$ . $PB^2 = (x-3)^2 + (y-0)^2 = x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2$ . $x^2 + y^2 - 8y + 16 = 4(x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2)$ . $x^2 + y^2 - 8y + 16 = 4x^2 - 24x + 36 + 4y^2$ . $0 = 3x^2 + 3y^2 - 24x + 8y + 20$ . Divide by 3? No, integer coefficients preferred or monic $x^2$ . $x^2 + y^2 - 8x + \frac{8}{3}y + \frac{20}{3} = 0$ . Or $3x^2 + 3y^2 - 24x + 8y + 20 = 0$ . [5]

15. Circle Centre $(2,1)$ , Radius $3$ . Line $mx - y + 3 = 0$ . Distance from centre to line $d = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}$ . $d = \frac{|m(2) - 1(1) + 3|}{\sqrt{m^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{|2m + 2|}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}}$ . For no intersection, $d > r$ . $\frac{|2m + 2|}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} > 3$ . Square both sides (both positive): $\frac{(2m+2)^2}{m^2+1} > 9$ . $4m^2 + 8m + 4 > 9(m^2 + 1)$ . $4m^2 + 8m + 4 > 9m^2 + 9$ . $0 > 5m^2 - 8m + 5$ . Check discriminant of $5m^2 - 8m + 5$ : $\Delta = (-8)^2 - 4(5)(5) = 64 - 100 = -36$ . Since $\Delta < 0$ and coefficient of $m^2$ is positive, $5m^2 - 8m + 5$ is always positive. The inequality $0 > \text{positive}$ is never true. Therefore, there are no values of $m$ for which the line does not intersect the circle. The line always intersects. (Wait, let's re-verify geometry. Point $(0,3)$ is on the line. Distance from $(2,1)$ to $(0,3)$ is $\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8} \approx 2.82 < 3$ . The y-intercept of the line is inside the circle. Thus, any line passing through a point inside the circle must intersect the circle twice.) Answer: No such values of $m$ exist. [5]
