- 1.Triangle PQR has vertices P(0, 0), Q(9, 0) and R(0, 4). Work out the area of triangle PQR.
- 2.Work out the gradient of the line segment joining A(2, 3) and B(6, 11).
- 3.Which pair of points lies on a horizontal line when the points are plotted on a coordinate grid?
- 4.P is the point (3, 4) and Q is the point (6, 0). Work out the distance of each point from the origin, and write down which point is closer to the origin.
- 5.The point (5, −2) is reflected in the x-axis. Work out the coordinates of the image point.
- 6.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.
- 7.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.
- 8.Write down which quadrant contains the point (−3, 5) when plotted on a coordinate grid.
- 9.The point A(3, 2) is translated by the vector (−5, 4) to give point B. Work out the coordinates of B.
