Topic: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry
Total Marks: 80

Section A Answers (20 marks)

1. Gradient = $\frac{7-3}{4-2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$. [2]
Teaching note: Gradient formula $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$. Common mistake: reversing subtraction order inconsistently.

2. Perpendicular gradient = $-\frac{1}{2}$. Through $(0,-3)$: $y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 3$. [2]
Note: Product of perpendicular gradients = $-1$.

3. Midpoint = $\left(\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{2+2}{2}\right) = (3, 2)$. [2]

4. $(x-3)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 16$. [2]
Standard form: $(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$.

5. $PQ = \sqrt{(3-(-1))^2 + (-2-4)^2} = \sqrt{16+36} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}$. [2]

6. At $y$-axis $x=0$: $y = -5$, so $R(0,-5)$. [2]

7. $2(1)+3(1)=5$, yes lies on line. [2]

8. Equation: $y = -\frac{1}{2}(x-4) = -\frac{1}{2}x+2$. $y=0 \Rightarrow x=4$. Already given; x-intercept is $4$. [2]

9. $3 \times (-\frac{1}{3}) = -1$, so perpendicular. [2]

10. Distance = $\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=5$, equals radius. [2]

Section B Answers (24 marks)

11. [4]
$x+1 = x^2-3x+1 \Rightarrow x^2-4x=0 \Rightarrow x(x-4)=0$
$x=0 \Rightarrow y=1$; $x=4 \Rightarrow y=5$.
$A(0,1), B(4,5)$. [4]

12. [4]
Centre $(h,h)$: $(h-1)^2+(h-3)^2=(h-5)^2+(h-1)^2$
$(h-3)^2=(h-5)^2 \Rightarrow h=4$. Centre $(4,4)$, $r^2=10$.
Equation: $(x-4)^2+(y-4)^2=10$. [4]

13. [4]
$\frac{dy}{dx}=2x-6=0 \Rightarrow x=3$, $y=9-18+5=-4$.
$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=2>0$ minimum. Point $(3,-4)$ min. [4]

14. [4]
Centre midpoint $(3,0)$, radius $3$. Equation $(x-3)^2+y^2=9$. [4]

15. [4]
Distance from $(1,2)$ to $2x-y-3=0$: $r=\frac{|2(1)-2-3|}{\sqrt{4+1}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}$. [4]

16. [4]
Midpoint $PQ=(2.5,3)$, grad $PQ=\frac{4}{3}$, perp grad $-\frac{3}{4}$.
Eq: $y-3=-\frac{3}{4}(x-2.5)$. [4]

Section C Answers (20 marks)

17. [5]
Intersection: $x^2-4x+1=2x-5 \Rightarrow x^2-6x+6=0$
$x=3\pm\sqrt{3}$. $A(3+\sqrt{3},1+2\sqrt{3}), B(3-\sqrt{3},1-2\sqrt{3})$.
$\frac{dy}{dx}=2x-4$, at A grad $=2+2\sqrt{3}$.
Tangent: $y-(1+2\sqrt{3})=(2+2\sqrt{3})(x-3-\sqrt{3})$. [5]

18. [5]
Centre $(h,4-h)$: $(h-2)^2+(4-h)^2=(h)^2+(4-h-2)^2$
Solve $h=2$, centre $(2,2)$, $r^2=8$. Eq $(x-2)^2+(y-2)^2=8$.
For $(1,1)$: $(1-2)^2+(1-2)^2=2<8$ inside. [5]

19. [5]
From diagram: $AD$ parallel $BC$ vertical so $D$ has x=0, y=3. $D(0,3)$.
Area = rectangle $4\times3=12$ sq units. [5]
Image must show D at (0,3), right angle at B.

20. [5]
$\frac{1}{x}=-x+2 \Rightarrow 1=-x^2+2x \Rightarrow x^2-2x+1=0 \Rightarrow (x-1)^2=0$
Only one intersection $(1,1)$ (tangent). Midpoint = $(1,1)$. [5]
