- 1.A is the point (1, 3) and B is the point (7, 3). Work out the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.
- 2.The point (0, −5) lies on one of the two coordinate axes. Write down which axis this is.
- 3.The point (5, −2) is reflected in the x-axis. Work out the coordinates of the image point.
- 4.Write down which quadrant contains the point (−3, 5) when plotted on a coordinate grid.
- 5.Triangle PQR has vertices P(0, 0), Q(6, 0) and R(0, 8). Work out the perimeter of the triangle.
- 6.A rectangle has vertices at (2, 1), (9, 1), (9, 5) and (2, 5). Work out the area of the rectangle.
- 7.A line segment joins A(1, 1) and B(4, 7). Write down the sign of the gradient of this line.
- 8.Which pair of points lies on a horizontal line when the points are plotted on a coordinate grid?
- 9.A triangle has vertices A(0, 0), B(10, 0) and C(5, 12). Work out the area of the triangle.
- 10.The midpoint of the line segment AB is (3, 5). A is the point (1, 3). Work out the coordinates of B.
- 11.A rectangle has vertices A(1, 1), B(4, 1), C(4, 5) and D(1, 5). Work out the perimeter of the rectangle.
- 12.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.
- 13.A rectangle has vertices A(0, 0), B(6, 0), C(6, 4) and D(0, 4). Work out the length of the diagonal AC. Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.
- 14.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.
- 15.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.
