- 1.The point (2, 5) is translated 3 units right and 4 units down. Work out the coordinates of the image point.
- 2.Which pair of points lies on a horizontal line when the points are plotted on a coordinate grid?
- 3.The point (4, −3) is reflected in the y-axis. Work out the coordinates of the image point.
- 4.A radar station is at the origin of a grid, where each unit represents 1 km. A boat is detected at the point (7, 24). Work out the boat's distance from the station, then work out how many hours it will take the boat to reach the station travelling directly towards it at 5 km per hour.
- 5.Triangle PQR has vertices P(0, 0), Q(6, 0) and R(0, 8). Work out the perimeter of the triangle.
- 6.The point (0, −5) lies on one of the two coordinate axes. Write down which axis this is.
- 7.A vertical line passes through the point (5, 2). Write down the equation of this line.
- 8.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.
- 9.Work out the distance between the point (0, 0) and the point (5, 12).
- 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.Triangle PQR has vertices P(0, 0), Q(9, 0) and R(0, 4). Work out the area of triangle PQR.
- 12.A rectangle has vertices at (2, 1), (9, 1), (9, 5) and (2, 5). Work out the area of the rectangle.
- 13.The midpoint of the line segment AB is (3, 5). A is the point (1, 3). Work out the coordinates of B.
- 14.A line segment joins A(1, 1) and B(4, 7). Write down the sign of the gradient of this line.
- 15.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.
