Answer Key and Marking Scheme (Version 5)

Topic: Graphs & Coordinate Geometry Total Marks: 60


Section A: Lines and Basic Coordinate Geometry

1. (a) Gradient m=y2y1x2x1=154(2)=66=1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-1 - 5}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1. [1]

(b) Midpoint of AB=(2+42,5+(1)2)=(1,2)AB = \left(\frac{-2+4}{2}, \frac{5+(-1)}{2}\right) = (1, 2). [1] Gradient of perpendicular bisector m=1mAB=11=1m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{m_{AB}} = -\frac{1}{-1} = 1. [1] Equation: y2=1(x1)y=x+1y - 2 = 1(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = x + 1. [1] Rearranging to ax+by=cax+by=c: xy=1x - y = -1 (or x+y=1-x + y = 1). [1] Answer: xy=1x - y = -1

2. (a) Gradient PQ=6251=44=1PQ = \frac{6-2}{5-1} = \frac{4}{4} = 1. [1] Gradient QR=0675=62=3QR = \frac{0-6}{7-5} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3. Gradient PR=0271=26=13PR = \frac{0-2}{7-1} = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3}. Product of gradients PQ×PR=1×(13)1PQ \times PR = 1 \times (-\frac{1}{3}) \neq -1. Product of gradients QR×PR=3×(13)=11QR \times PR = -3 \times (-\frac{1}{3}) = 1 \neq -1. Wait, let's check lengths or dot product. QP=(4,4)\vec{QP} = (-4, -4), QR=(2,6)\vec{QR} = (2, -6). Dot product =8+24=160= -8 + 24 = 16 \neq 0. PQ=(4,4)\vec{PQ} = (4, 4), PR=(6,2)\vec{PR} = (6, -2). Dot product =248=160= 24 - 8 = 16 \neq 0. RP=(6,2)\vec{RP} = (-6, 2), RQ=(2,6)\vec{RQ} = (-2, 6). Dot product =12+12=240= 12 + 12 = 24 \neq 0. Correction in Question Design Check: Let's re-evaluate gradients. mPQ=1m_{PQ} = 1. mQR=3m_{QR} = -3. mPR=1/3m_{PR} = -1/3. None are negative reciprocals. The triangle is not right-angled with these coordinates. Self-Correction for Answer Key: I must ensure the question provided in the exam paper is solvable. Let's re-calculate P(1,2),Q(5,6),R(7,0)P(1,2), Q(5,6), R(7,0). mPQ=1m_{PQ} = 1. mQR=3m_{QR} = -3. mPR=1/3m_{PR} = -1/3. Actually, mPQ×mPR=1/3m_{PQ} \times m_{PR} = -1/3. Not -1. Let's check the question text again. "Show that triangle PQR is right-angled." If the question is flawed, I must provide the answer for a corrected version or note the error. However, for this generation, I will assume a typo in my mental check and provide the standard method. Let's swap R to (7,2)(7, 2)? No, let's use the standard "Show that" method. Lengths: PQ2=16+16=32PQ^2 = 16+16=32. QR2=4+36=40QR^2 = 4+36=40. PR2=36+4=40PR^2 = 36+4=40. Isosceles, but not right-angled (32+404032+40 \neq 40). Adjustment: The question in the paper asks to "Show that...". If the student finds it is not, they state it. But usually, these questions are right-angled. Let's assume the question meant R(5,2)R(5, -2)? mPQ=1m_{PQ}=1. mQR=2655m_{QR} = \frac{-2-6}{5-5} undefined. Let's assume R(9,2)R(9, 2)? mPR=0m_{PR} = 0. mPQ=1m_{PQ}=1. No. Let's assume Q(5,2)Q(5,2)? mPQ=0m_{PQ}=0. mQRm_{QR} undefined. Right angled at Q. Note: In a real exam generation, I would ensure the coordinates work. For this output, I will provide the solution for a corrected set of coordinates that makes it right-angled, or simply mark based on the method. Let's use the coordinates P(1,1),Q(4,5),R(8,2)P(1,1), Q(4,5), R(8,2). mPQ=4/3m_{PQ} = 4/3. mQR=3/4m_{QR} = -3/4. Product = -1. Right angled at Q. Since I cannot change the question text in the Answer Key, I will provide the marking scheme for the method. Marking Scheme for Q2(a):

  1. Calculate gradients of two pairs of sides. [1]
  2. Show product is -1 (or use Pythagoras with lengths). [1] (Note: With the specific numbers in Q2, the triangle is not right-angled. Students should show working. If the question implies it is, there is a typo in the question generation. We will award marks for the correct method of checking.)

(b) Area =12x1(y2y3)+x2(y3y1)+x3(y1y2)= \frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| =121(60)+5(02)+7(26)= \frac{1}{2} |1(6-0) + 5(0-2) + 7(2-6)| =1261028=1232=16= \frac{1}{2} |6 - 10 - 28| = \frac{1}{2} |-32| = 16. [2] Answer: 16 sq units

3. Intersection at x=3x=3. Substitute x=3x=3 into 3xy=59y=5y=43x - y = 5 \Rightarrow 9 - y = 5 \Rightarrow y = 4. [1] Point AA is (3,4)(3, 4). Substitute (3,4)(3, 4) into y=2x+ky = 2x + k: 4=2(3)+k4=6+k4 = 2(3) + k \Rightarrow 4 = 6 + k. [1] k=2k = -2. [1] Answer: k=2k = -2

4. Section formula: C=2A+1B1+2C = \frac{2A + 1B}{1+2}? No, ratio AC:CB=1:2AC:CB = 1:2. C=2(xA)+1(xB)3,2(yA)+1(yB)3C = \frac{2(x_A) + 1(x_B)}{3}, \frac{2(y_A) + 1(y_B)}{3}? Wait, internal division formula: mx2+nx1m+n\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n}. Here m=1,n=2m=1, n=2 relative to A and B? Vector AC=13AB\vec{AC} = \frac{1}{3} \vec{AB}. xC=xA+13(xBxA)=2+13(6)=4x_C = x_A + \frac{1}{3}(x_B - x_A) = 2 + \frac{1}{3}(6) = 4. [1.5] yC=yA+13(yByA)=3+13(4)=3+1.33=4.33y_C = y_A + \frac{1}{3}(y_B - y_A) = 3 + \frac{1}{3}(4) = 3 + 1.33 = 4.33? yByA=73=4y_B - y_A = 7-3=4. 3+4/3=13/33 + 4/3 = 13/3. Let's use formula: C=2(2)+1(8)3,2(3)+1(7)3=123,133C = \frac{2(2) + 1(8)}{3}, \frac{2(3) + 1(7)}{3} = \frac{12}{3}, \frac{13}{3}. x=4,y=133x = 4, y = \frac{13}{3}. [1.5] Answer: (4,133)(4, \frac{13}{3})


Section B: Circles and Intersections

5. (a) Complete the square: (x26x)+(y2+8y)=11(x^2 - 6x) + (y^2 + 8y) = 11 (x3)29+(y+4)216=11(x-3)^2 - 9 + (y+4)^2 - 16 = 11 (x3)2+(y+4)2=36(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 36 [1] Centre (3,4)(3, -4). [1] Radius r=36=6r = \sqrt{36} = 6. [1]

(b) Distance from Centre (3,4)(3, -4) to P(1,2)P(1, -2): d2=(13)2+(2(4))2=(2)2+(2)2=4+4=8d^2 = (1-3)^2 + (-2 - (-4))^2 = (-2)^2 + (2)^2 = 4 + 4 = 8. [1] Since d2=8<r2=36d^2 = 8 < r^2 = 36, the point lies inside the circle. [1]

6. (a) Substitute y=x+1y = x+1 into circle eq: (x2)2+(x+13)2=25(x-2)^2 + (x+1-3)^2 = 25 (x2)2+(x2)2=25(x-2)^2 + (x-2)^2 = 25 2(x2)2=25(x2)2=12.52(x-2)^2 = 25 \Rightarrow (x-2)^2 = 12.5. [1] Since 12.5>012.5 > 0, there are two real solutions for xx. [1] Thus, two distinct points of intersection. [1]

(b) x2=±12.5=±52=±522x - 2 = \pm \sqrt{12.5} = \pm \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} = \pm \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}. x=2±522x = 2 \pm \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}. [1] y=x+1=3±522y = x + 1 = 3 \pm \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}. [1] Points: (2+522,3+522)\left(2 + \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}, 3 + \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) and (2522,3522)\left(2 - \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}, 3 - \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\right). [2]

7. (a) General form x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0. Passes through (0,0)c=0(0,0) \Rightarrow c = 0. [1] Passes through (4,0)16+0+8g=0g=2(4,0) \Rightarrow 16 + 0 + 8g = 0 \Rightarrow g = -2. [1] Passes through (0,6)0+36+12f=0f=3(0,6) \Rightarrow 0 + 36 + 12f = 0 \Rightarrow f = -3. [1] Equation: x2+y24x6y=0x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 6y = 0.

(b) Centre (g,f)=(2,3)(-g, -f) = (2, 3). [1] Radius r=g2+f2c=4+90=13r = \sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c} = \sqrt{4 + 9 - 0} = \sqrt{13}. [1]

8. (a) Substitute y=mxy=mx into x2+y24x6y+9=0x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 6y + 9 = 0: x2+m2x24x6mx+9=0x^2 + m^2x^2 - 4x - 6mx + 9 = 0 (1+m2)x2(4+6m)x+9=0(1+m^2)x^2 - (4+6m)x + 9 = 0. [1] For tangency, discriminant Δ=0\Delta = 0. b24ac=0b^2 - 4ac = 0 ((4+6m))24(1+m2)(9)=0(-(4+6m))^2 - 4(1+m^2)(9) = 0 16+48m+36m236(1+m2)=016 + 48m + 36m^2 - 36(1+m^2) = 0 16+48m+36m23636m2=016 + 48m + 36m^2 - 36 - 36m^2 = 0 48m20=048m - 20 = 0? Wait. 36m236m236m^2 - 36m^2 cancels. 48m20=0m=20/48=5/1248m - 20 = 0 \Rightarrow m = 20/48 = 5/12. This yields only one value. The question asks to show 3m28m+3=03m^2 - 8m + 3 = 0. Let's re-check the circle equation or line. Circle: x2+y24x6y+9=0x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 6y + 9 = 0. Centre (2,3)(2,3), Radius 4+99=2\sqrt{4+9-9}=2. Distance from centre (2,3)(2,3) to line mxy=0mx - y = 0 is r=2r=2. 2m3m2+1=2\frac{|2m - 3|}{\sqrt{m^2+1}} = 2 (2m3)2=4(m2+1)(2m-3)^2 = 4(m^2+1) 4m212m+9=4m2+44m^2 - 12m + 9 = 4m^2 + 4 12m+5=0-12m + 5 = 0. Still linear. Error in Question Generation: The equation 3m28m+3=03m^2 - 8m + 3 = 0 implies a quadratic in mm, which happens if the line does not pass through the origin or the circle is different. Given the prompt constraints, I will provide the answer key for the intended logic if the equation were correct, but note the discrepancy. However, to be helpful, let's solve 3m28m+3=03m^2 - 8m + 3 = 0 as requested in part (b).

(b) m=8±64366=8±286=8±276=4±73m = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64 - 36}}{6} = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{28}}{6} = \frac{8 \pm 2\sqrt{7}}{6} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{7}}{3}. [2]

9. (a) C1:x2+y2=25C_1: x^2 + y^2 = 25. C2:x2+y210x10y+25=0C_2: x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 10y + 25 = 0. Subtract C1C_1 from C2C_2: 10x10y+25=25-10x - 10y + 25 = -25 10x10y=50x+y=5y=5x-10x - 10y = -50 \Rightarrow x + y = 5 \Rightarrow y = 5 - x. [1] Substitute into C1C_1: x2+(5x)2=25x^2 + (5-x)^2 = 25 x2+2510x+x2=25x^2 + 25 - 10x + x^2 = 25 2x210x=02x(x5)=02x^2 - 10x = 0 \Rightarrow 2x(x-5) = 0. [1] x=0x = 0 or x=5x = 5. If x=0,y=5x=0, y=5. Point (0,5)(0,5). [1] If x=5,y=0x=5, y=0. Point (5,0)(5,0). [1]

(b) Length =(50)2+(05)2=25+25=50=52= \sqrt{(5-0)^2 + (0-5)^2} = \sqrt{25+25} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}. [2]


Section C: Advanced Coordinate Geometry and Loci

10. (a) PA=2PBPA2=4PB2PA = 2 PB \Rightarrow PA^2 = 4 PB^2. (x2)2+y2=4[(x+1)2+y2](x-2)^2 + y^2 = 4 [ (x+1)^2 + y^2 ]. [1] x24x+4+y2=4(x2+2x+1+y2)x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = 4 (x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2). x24x+4+y2=4x2+8x+4+4y2x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = 4x^2 + 8x + 4 + 4y^2. 3x2+12x+3y2=03x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 = 0. Divide by 3: x2+4x+y2=0x^2 + 4x + y^2 = 0. [1] This is in the form x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, which represents a circle. [1] (Completing square: (x+2)2+y2=4(x+2)^2 + y^2 = 4).

(b) Centre (2,0)(-2, 0). [1] Radius 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2. [1]

11. (a) Gradient AC=5171=46=23AC = \frac{5-1}{7-1} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}. Eq: y1=23(x1)3y3=2x22x3y+1=0y - 1 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 1) \Rightarrow 3y - 3 = 2x - 2 \Rightarrow 2x - 3y + 1 = 0. [2]

(b) ABy=2xmAB=2AB \parallel y=2x \Rightarrow m_{AB} = 2. Passes through A(1,1)A(1,1). y1=2(x1)y=2x1y - 1 = 2(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = 2x - 1. [3]

(c) BCABmBC=1/2BC \perp AB \Rightarrow m_{BC} = -1/2. Passes through C(7,5)C(7,5). y5=12(x7)2y10=x+7x+2y=17y - 5 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 7) \Rightarrow 2y - 10 = -x + 7 \Rightarrow x + 2y = 17. [1] Intersection of ABAB (y=2x1y=2x-1) and BCBC (x+2y=17x+2y=17): x+2(2x1)=175x2=175x=19x=3.8x + 2(2x-1) = 17 \Rightarrow 5x - 2 = 17 \Rightarrow 5x = 19 \Rightarrow x = 3.8. [1.5] y=2(3.8)1=6.6y = 2(3.8) - 1 = 6.6. B(3.8,6.6)B(3.8, 6.6) or (195,335)(\frac{19}{5}, \frac{33}{5}). [1.5]

12. (a) M(h,k)M(h,k) is midpoint of A(xA,0)A(x_A, 0) and B(0,yB)B(0, y_B). h=xA+02xA=2hh = \frac{x_A + 0}{2} \Rightarrow x_A = 2h. k=0+yB2yB=2kk = \frac{0 + y_B}{2} \Rightarrow y_B = 2k. A(2h,0),B(0,2k)A(2h, 0), B(0, 2k). [2]

(b) Line passes through A(2h,0)A(2h,0), B(0,2k)B(0,2k) and K(3,4)K(3,4). Gradient AB=2k002h=khAB = \frac{2k - 0}{0 - 2h} = -\frac{k}{h}. Equation of line: y=khx+2ky = -\frac{k}{h}x + 2k. Since K(3,4)K(3,4) is on the line: 4=kh(3)+2k4 = -\frac{k}{h}(3) + 2k. Multiply by hh: 4h=3k+2kh4h = -3k + 2kh. Rearrange: 2kh4h3k=02kh - 4h - 3k = 0. [3]
