Section A: Basic Concepts

1. (a) Gradient $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-1 - 5}{8 - 2} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1$ .
Answer: $-1$ [1]

(b) Midpoint $M = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) = (\frac{2+8}{2}, \frac{5+(-1)}{2}) = (\frac{10}{2}, \frac{4}{2}) = (5, 2)$ .
Answer: $(5, 2)$ [1]

2. Using $y = mx + c$ with $m=4$ : $y = 4x + c$ . Substitute $(3, -2)$ : $-2 = 4(3) + c \Rightarrow -2 = 12 + c \Rightarrow c = -14$ . Answer: $y = 4x - 14$ [2] (1 mark for correct substitution/working, 1 mark for final equation)

3. Gradient of $PQ$ : $m_{PQ} = \frac{9-3}{4-1} = \frac{6}{3} = 2$ . Gradient of given line: $m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$ . Product of gradients: $2 \times (-\frac{1}{2}) = -1$ .
