- 1.Work out the gradient of the line segment joining A(2, 3) and B(6, 11).
- 2.A triangle has vertices A(1, 1), B(5, 1) and C(5, 4). Work out the lengths of AB, BC and CA, and write down whether triangle ABC is right-angled.
- 3.Write down which quadrant contains the point (−3, 5) when plotted on a coordinate grid.
- 4.The point (4, −3) is reflected in the y-axis. Work out the coordinates of the image point.
- 5.Triangle PQR has vertices P(0, 0), Q(6, 0) and R(0, 8). Work out the perimeter of the triangle.
