- 1.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.
- 2.Work out the gradient of the line segment joining A(2, 3) and B(6, 11).
- 3.A vertical line passes through the point (5, 2). Write down the equation of this line.
- 4.Work out the distance between the point (0, 0) and the point (5, 12).
- 5.Work out the distance between the points (−3, 4) and (5, −2).
- 6.A line segment joins A(1, 1) and B(4, 7). Write down the sign of the gradient of this line.
- 7.The midpoint of the line segment AB is (3, 5). A is the point (1, 3). Work out the coordinates of B.
- 8.Triangle PQR has vertices P(0, 0), Q(9, 0) and R(0, 4). Work out the area of triangle PQR.
- 9.The point A(3, 2) is translated by the vector (−5, 4) to give point B. Work out the coordinates of B.
- 10.A triangle has vertices A(0, 0), B(10, 0) and C(5, 12). Work out the area of the triangle.
- 11.Write down which quadrant contains the point (−3, 5) when plotted on a coordinate grid.
- 12.Which pair of points lies on a horizontal line when the points are plotted on a coordinate grid?
- 13.The point (0, −5) lies on one of the two coordinate axes. Write down which axis this is.
- 14.A rectangle has vertices at (2, 1), (9, 1), (9, 5) and (2, 5). Work out the area of the rectangle.
- 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.
