- 1.A line segment joins A(1, 1) and B(4, 7). Write down the sign of the gradient of this line.
- 2.A quadrilateral has vertices A(1, 1), B(5, 1), C(6, 4) and D(2, 4). By comparing the y-coordinates of A, B and of D, C, write down whether the sides AB and DC are parallel, and give a reason for your answer.
- 3.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.

- 5.Work out the distance between the points (−3, 4) and (5, −2).
- 6.A rectangle has vertices at (2, 1), (9, 1), (9, 5) and (2, 5). Work out the area of the rectangle.
- 7.The point A(3, 2) is translated by the vector (−5, 4) to give point B. Work out the coordinates of B.
- 8.Work out the gradient of the line segment joining A(2, 3) and B(6, 11).

- 10.A rectangle has vertices A(1, 1), B(4, 1), C(4, 5) and D(1, 5). Work out the perimeter of the rectangle.
- 11.The midpoint of the line segment AB is (3, 5). A is the point (1, 3). Work out the coordinates of B.
- 12.A vertical line passes through the point (5, 2). Write down the equation of this line.
- 13.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.
- 14.A triangle has vertices A(0, 0), B(10, 0) and C(5, 12). Work out the area of the triangle.
- 15.Work out the distance between the point (0, 0) and the point (5, 12).
