Answer Key and Marking Scheme Paper: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry (Practice Set 4 of 5)

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 $AB = \frac{-1-5}{4-(-2)} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1$ . Gradient of perpendicular bisector $m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{-1} = 1$ . [1] Equation: $y - 2 = 1(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = x + 1 \Rightarrow x - y + 1 = 0$ . [1] Answer: $x - y + 1 = 0$

(b) Height of equilateral triangle $h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \text{side}$ . Side $AB = \sqrt{(4-(-2))^2 + (-1-5)^2} = \sqrt{36+36} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}$ . $h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(6\sqrt{2}) = 3\sqrt{6}$ . $C$ lies on the perpendicular bisector at distance $3\sqrt{6}$ from midpoint $M(1,2)$ . Let $C = (x, y)$ . Since gradient of bisector is 1, direction vector is $(1, 1)$ normalized to $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$ . Displacement $\Delta x = \pm 3\sqrt{6} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \pm 3\sqrt{3}$ . $\Delta y = \pm 3\sqrt{3}$ . $C_1 = (1 + 3\sqrt{3}, 2 + 3\sqrt{3})$ . $C_2 = (1 - 3\sqrt{3}, 2 - 3\sqrt{3})$ . [4] Answer: $(1 + 3\sqrt{3}, 2 + 3\sqrt{3})$ and $(1 - 3\sqrt{3}, 2 - 3\sqrt{3})$

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 $(6, 2)$ . $y - 2 = \frac{3}{4}(x - 6) \Rightarrow 4(y - 2) = 3(x - 6) \Rightarrow 4y - 8 = 3x - 18$ . $3x - 4y - 10 = 0$ . [2]

(c) $L_3$ is perpendicular to $L_1$ , so gradient $m_3 = -\frac{4}{3}$ . Passes through $(0,0)$ . Equation $L_3: y = -\frac{4}{3}x \Rightarrow 4x + 3y = 0$ . Intersection of $L_2$ ( $3x - 4y = 10$ ) and $L_3$ ( $4x + 3y = 0 \Rightarrow y = -\frac{4}{3}x$ ). Substitute $y$ into $L_2$ : $3x - 4(-\frac{4}{3}x) = 10 \Rightarrow 3x + \frac{16}{3}x = 10$ . $\frac{9+16}{3}x = 10 \Rightarrow \frac{25}{3}x = 10 \Rightarrow x = \frac{30}{25} = \frac{6}{5} = 1.2$ . $y = -\frac{4}{3}(1.2) = -1.6$ . Answer: $(1.2, -1.6)$ [3]

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] (Alternative: Show $PQ$ parallel and equal to $SR$ )

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

4. (a) $P = \left(\frac{1(1) + 2(7)}{1+2}, \frac{1(3) + 2(9)}{1+2}\right) = \left(\frac{15}{3}, \frac{21}{3}\right) = (5, 7)$ . [2]

(b) Gradient $AB = \frac{9-3}{7-1} = \frac{6}{6} = 1$ . Gradient perpendicular $= -1$ . Equation through $P(5,7)$ : $y - 7 = -1(x - 5) \Rightarrow y = -x + 12 \Rightarrow x + y - 12 = 0$ . [3]

5. (a) $m_1 = 2$ , $m_2 = -0.5$ . Product $2 \times (-0.5) = -1$ . The lines are perpendicular. [1]

(b) Intersection on y-axis means $x=0$ . For $L_2$ : $y = -0.5(0) + 4 = 4$ . Point is $(0,4)$ . For $L_1$ : $4 = 2(0) + k \Rightarrow k = 4$ . [2]

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 $r = \sqrt{36} = 6$ . [3]

(b) Distance from Centre $(3, -4)$ to $A(8, 1)$ : $d = \sqrt{(8-3)^2 + (1-(-4))^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2} \approx 7.07$ . Since $7.07 > 6$ , point $A$ is outside the circle. [2]

7. (a) Substitute $y = 2x + c$ into $x^2 + y^2 = 20$ : $x^2 + (2x+c)^2 = 20 \Rightarrow x^2 + 4x^2 + 4cx + c^2 - 20 = 0$ . $5x^2 + 4cx + (c^2 - 20) = 0$ . For tangent, discriminant $\Delta = 0$ . $(4c)^2 - 4(5)(c^2 - 20) = 0$ . $16c^2 - 20c^2 + 400 = 0 \Rightarrow -4c^2 = -400 \Rightarrow c^2 = 100$ . $c = \pm 10$ . [4]

(b) Case $c = 10$ . Equation: $5x^2 + 40x + 80 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 + 8x + 16 = 0 \Rightarrow (x+4)^2 = 0$ . $x = -4$ . $y = 2(-4) + 10 = 2$ . Answer: $(-4, 2)$ [3]

8. (a) $C_1$ : Centre $(2, 3)$ , $r_1 = \sqrt{4+9+12} = \sqrt{25} = 5$ . $C_2$ : Centre $(-1, -4)$ , $r_2 = \sqrt{1+16-13} = \sqrt{4} = 2$ . Distance between centres $d = \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2 + (3-(-4))^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{9+49} = \sqrt{58} \approx 7.6$ . Sum of radii $r_1 + r_2 = 7$ . Difference $|r_1 - r_2| = 3$ . Since $3 < 7.6 < 7$ is FALSE ( $7.6 > 7$ ), the circles are separate? Wait, $\sqrt{58} \approx 7.61$ . $r_1+r_2 = 7$ . Since $d > r_1 + r_2$ , the circles do not intersect. Correction in Question Logic for Answer Key: The question asks to "Show that they intersect". Let's re-evaluate constants. $C_1: x^2+y^2-4x-6y-12=0 \rightarrow (x-2)^2+(y-3)^2 = 12+4+9=25$ . $r=5$ . $C_2: x^2+y^2+2x+8y+13=0 \rightarrow (x+1)^2+(y+4)^2 = -13+1+16=4$ . $r=2$ . Dist $d = \sqrt{58} \approx 7.6$ . Sum radii $7$ . They do not intersect. Note to User: The generated question 8(a) contains a trap or error in standard "show they intersect" phrasing if they don't. However, in an exam context, if asked to "determine the relative position", the answer is they are separate. If the prompt strictly requires "Show they intersect", the numbers in the prompt would need adjustment (e.g., constant in C2 is -10). Assuming standard exam correction: Let's assume the question meant "Determine the relative position". Answer: Distance between centres $\sqrt{58} \approx 7.62$ . Sum of radii $5+2=7$ . Since $d > r_1+r_2$ , the circles are external to each other and do not intersect. [3] (If the question intended intersection, e.g., $C_2$ constant was $-10$ , $r_2=\sqrt{15}\approx 3.87$ , sum $8.87 > 7.6$ , then they intersect. Given the text, the correct mathematical answer is they do not intersect. Marks awarded for correct logic.)

(b) Equation of common chord (radical axis) is found by subtracting equations: $(x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 6y - 12) - (x^2 + y^2 + 2x + 8y + 13) = 0$ . $-6x - 14y - 25 = 0 \Rightarrow 6x + 14y + 25 = 0$ . [2]

9. (a) Since $\angle AOB = 90^\circ$ (axes are perpendicular) and $A, B$ on axes? No, $A(0,0), B(6,0), C(0,8)$ . Triangle $ABC$ is right-angled at $A(0,0)$ ? No, $A$ is origin. $B$ on x-axis, $C$ on y-axis. Angle $BAC = 90^\circ$ . Therefore $BC$ is the diameter. Midpoint of $BC$ is centre. $B(6,0), C(0,8)$ . Centre $O = (3, 4)$ . Radius $r = \frac{1}{2} BC = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{6^2+8^2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$ . Equation: $(x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 25$ . Or $x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 - 8y + 16 = 25 \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 8y = 0$ . [3]

(b) Radius to $B(6,0)$ connects $(3,4)$ and $(6,0)$ . Gradient $m_{rad} = \frac{0-4}{6-3} = -\frac{4}{3}$ . Gradient tangent $m_{tan} = \frac{3}{4}$ . Equation: $y - 0 = \frac{3}{4}(x - 6) \Rightarrow 4y = 3x - 18 \Rightarrow 3x - 4y - 18 = 0$ . [3]

10. (a) Radius $R=5$ . Distance $OM = \sqrt{3^2+1^2} = \sqrt{10}$ . In $\triangle OMA$ (right-angled at M), $AM^2 + OM^2 = OA^2$ . $AM^2 + 10 = 25 \Rightarrow AM^2 = 15 \Rightarrow AM = \sqrt{15}$ . Length chord $AB = 2 \times AM = 2\sqrt{15}$ . [3]

(b) Gradient $OM = \frac{1}{3}$ . Gradient chord $AB$ (perpendicular to $OM$ ) $= -3$ . Passes through $M(3,1)$ . $y - 1 = -3(x - 3) \Rightarrow y = -3x + 10 \Rightarrow 3x + y - 10 = 0$ . [3]

Gradient $a = \frac{28-10}{25-4} = \frac{18}{21} = \frac{6}{7}$ . $10 = \frac{6}{7}(4) + b \Rightarrow 10 = \frac{24}{7} + b \Rightarrow b = \frac{70-24}{7} = \frac{46}{7}$ .
