- 1.A(1, 2), B(5, 2) and C(5, 6) are three of the four vertices of a square ABCD. Work out the coordinates of D.
- 2.The point (0, −5) lies on one of the two coordinate axes. Write down which axis this is.
- 3.The point (4, −3) is reflected in the y-axis. Work out the coordinates of the image point.
- 4.A path goes from A(1, 1) to B(1, 5), then from B to C(6, 5). Work out the total length of the path from A to C.
- 5.A line segment joins A(1, 1) and B(4, 7). Write down the sign of the gradient of this line.
- 6.The point A(3, 2) is translated by the vector (−5, 4) to give point B. Work out the coordinates of B.
- 7.Which pair of points lies on a horizontal line when the points are plotted on a coordinate grid?
- 8.State whether the line segment joining A(−4, 3) and B(2, 6) is horizontal, vertical or neither, and give a reason for your answer.
- 9.Work out the y-coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment joining (2, 4) and (8, 10).
