Answer Key - Secondary 4 Additional Mathematics Quiz (Graphs Coordinate Geometry)

1. Equation of perpendicular line

Gradient of $2x - 5y = 10$ is $m_1 = 2/5$ .
Perpendicular gradient $m_2 = -5/2$ .
Equation: $y - (-2) = -5/2(x - 3) \implies 2y + 4 = -5x + 15 \implies 5x + 2y = 11$ .

Midpoint $= (\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{4+10}{2}) = (3, 7)$ .
Answer: $(3, 7)$ [2 marks]

3. Intersection of line and curve

$x^2 - 3x + 4 = 2x + 1 \implies x^2 - 5x + 3 = 0$ .
Using quadratic formula: $x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 12}}{2} = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{13}}{2}$ .

Answer: $3x + 4y = 14$ [3 marks]

5. Area of triangle

Area $= \frac{1}{2} |0(2-6) + 4(6-0) + 2(0-2)| = \frac{1}{2} |0 + 24 - 4| = 10$ .
Answer: 10 sq units [3 marks]

6. Tangent line

$x^2 + 4x + 5 = mx + 1 \implies x^2 + (4-m)x + 4 = 0$ .
For tangency, $\Delta = 0 \implies (4-m)^2 - 4(1)(4) = 0$ .
$(4-m)^2 = 16 \implies 4-m = \pm 4$ .
$m = 0$ or $m = 8$ .
Answer: $m = 0, 8$ [4 marks]

7. Closest point to origin

The line from origin to point $P$ must be perpendicular to $y = 3x - 4$ .
Perpendicular gradient $= -1/3$ . Line: $y = -1/3x$ .
Intersection: $3x - 4 = -1/3x \implies 9x - 12 = -x \implies 10x = 12 \implies x = 1.2$ .

Answer: $(x-1)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 8$ [4 marks]
