- 1.Which pair of points lies on a horizontal line when the points are plotted on a coordinate grid?
- 2.Work out the y-coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment joining (2, 4) and (8, 10).
- 3.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.
- 4.A rectangle has vertices at (2, 1), (9, 1), (9, 5) and (2, 5). Work out the area of the rectangle.
- 5.A line segment joins A(1, 1) and B(4, 7). Write down the sign of the gradient of this line.
- 6.A vertical line passes through the point (5, 2). Write down the equation of this line.
- 7.Work out the length of the straight line segment joining the points (2, −4) and (−3, −4).
- 8.Triangle PQR has vertices P(0, 0), Q(9, 0) and R(0, 4). Work out the area of triangle PQR.
- 9.Triangle PQR has vertices P(0, 0), Q(6, 0) and R(0, 8). Work out the perimeter of the triangle.
- 10.The point (0, −5) lies on one of the two coordinate axes. Write down which axis this is.
- 11.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.
- 12.A is the point (1, 3) and B is the point (7, 3). Work out the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.
- 13.Write down which quadrant contains the point (−3, 5) when plotted on a coordinate grid.
- 14.The point (4, −3) is reflected in the y-axis. Work out the coordinates of the image point.
- 15.Line 1 passes through (0, 1) and (2, 5). Line 2 passes through (3, 2) and (5, 6). Work out the gradient of each line. Then write down whether the two lines are parallel.
