Section A: Foundation (Q1–5, 1 mark each)

Q1. Gradient = $\frac{7-3}{6-2} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$.
Teaching note: Gradient formula $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Subtract y's then x's in same order.
Mark: 1

Q2. $y$-intercept is $(0, -5)$.
Teaching note: In $y = mx + c$, $c$ is the $y$-intercept value; point is $(0, c)$.
Mark: 1

Q3. Gradient = $-2$.
Teaching note: Coefficient of $x$ is the gradient.
Mark: 1

Q4. $x$-coordinate = $-3$.
Teaching note: Coordinate pair is $(x, y)$; first number is $x$.
Mark: 1

Q5. Distance = $\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5$ units.
Teaching note: Distance formula from origin: $\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$.
Mark: 1

---

Section B: Application (Q6–13, 2 marks each)

Q6. $y = 3x - 1$.
Working: $y - 2 = 3(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = 3x - 3 + 2 = 3x - 1$.
Teaching note: Use $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$.
Mark: 2 (1 for substitution, 1 for answer)

Q7. $CD = \sqrt{(4-1)^2 + (5-1)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5$.
Mark: 2

Q8. Gradient = $\frac{4 - (-2)}{2 - 0} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$; $y$-intercept = $-2$.
Mark: 2 (1 each)

Q9. Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 = 6$ square units.
Teaching note: Right triangle with base 3, height 4.
Mark: 2

Q10. Reflected line: $y = 2x + 1$ becomes $y = -2x + 1$ (replace $x$ with $-x$).
Mark: 2

Q11. Midpoint = $\left(\frac{-1+3}{2}, \frac{2+(-2)}{2}\right) = (1, 0)$.
Mark: 2

Q12. $x^2 - 4 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2$ or $x = -2$.
Mark: 2

Q13. Shape: rectangle (or square if joined to origin? Actually M(1,2), N(4,2), O(4,5), origin(0,0) gives irregular quadrilateral; with given three points and origin in order O-M-N-O forms a rectangle? O(0,0)-M(1,2)-N(4,2)-O is not closed. Intended: M, N, O and origin form a rectangle? Check: O(0,0), M(1,2) not axis-aligned. Correction: The shape formed by O, M, N, O is triangle. The question asks M,N,O and origin after joining in order: O→M→N→O is triangle OMN. But typical: O(0,0), M(1,2), N(4,2), O(0,0) is not rectangle. We stated points M(1,2), N(4,2), O(4,5) and origin. Joined O-M-N-O: O(0,0) to M(1,2) to N(4,2) to O(0,0): not rectangle. Actually if we consider O(0,0), M(1,2), N(4,2), O(4,5)? No. The answer expected: right-angled triangle or quadrilateral? Based on coordinates, O(0,0), M(1,2), N(4,2), O(4,5) not given. Simpler: The three points with origin form a right-angled triangle OMN? O to M to N: OM slope 2, MN horizontal, so angle at M not 90. We'll answer: triangle (with origin, M, N) is a triangle; shape is a right-angled triangle if using O, N, O? To avoid confusion, answer: The points M, N, O and origin joined in order form a quadrilateral (specifically a trapezium). But for Sec 4, we accept "triangle OMN" if only 3 points. We'll state: Plotting shows O(0,0), M(1,2), N(4,2) gives a triangle; with O(4,5) not. We'll say: The shape is a right-angled triangle (OMN).
Correction for key: The figure from placeholder shows M(1,2), N(4,2), O(4,5), origin(0,0). Joined O-M-N-O: O(0,0)-M(1,2)-N(4,2)-O(0,0) is triangle. Actually O to M to N to O closes. That is triangle OMN. So answer: triangle.
Mark: 2 (1 plot, 1 name)

Section C: Challenge (Q14–20, 3 marks each)

Q14.
$AB = \sqrt{(4-1)^2 + (5-1)^2} = \sqrt{9+16}=5$
$BC = \sqrt{(7-4)^2 + (1-5)^2} = \sqrt{9+16}=5$
Thus $AB = BC$.
Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base } AC \times \text{height}$. $AC = 6$ (from x=1 to 7 at y=1), height = 4 (y from 1 to 5). Area = $\frac{1}{2}\times 6 \times 4 = 12$.
Mark: 3 (2 for lengths, 1 for area)

Q15. $11 = 3m + 2 \Rightarrow 3m = 9 \Rightarrow m = 3$. Equation: $y = 3x + 2$.
Mark: 3 (1 sub, 1 m, 1 eq)

Q16. $PQ = 4$, $QR = 3$, $RS = 4$, $SP = 3$; all angles 90° (axis-aligned). Perimeter = $4+3+4+3 = 14$.
Mark: 3 (1 rect, 2 perimeter)

Q17. From graph, $x$-intercepts at $x = -1$ and $x = 3$. So solutions: $x = -1, 3$.
Mark: 3 (read graph correctly)

Q18. Midpoint $XY = (1, 4)$. Gradient $XY = 1$. Perp gradient = $-1$. Equation: $y - 4 = -1(x - 1) \Rightarrow y = -x + 5$.
Mark: 3

Q19. $UV = 5$ (vertical), $UW = 5$ (horizontal), hypotenuse $VW = \sqrt{5^2+5^2}=5\sqrt{2}$. Midpoint of $VW = (4.5, 5.5)$.
Mark: 3

Q20. $x$-int: $y=0 \Rightarrow 2x=12 \Rightarrow x=6$. $y$-int: $x=0 \Rightarrow 3y=12 \Rightarrow y=4$. Gradient: $3y = -2x + 12 \Rightarrow y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 4$, so $m = -\frac{2}{3}$.
