Practice Worksheets

The following worksheets provide structured practice for each topic in the course.

Worksheet 1: Coordinate Basics

Topic: Plotting points, distance, and midpoint

Exercises:

  1. Plot the following points on a coordinate plane:
    • A(4, 3), B(-2, 5), C(-3, -4), D(1, -2), E(0, 6)
  2. Calculate the distance between:
    • A(1, 1) and B(4, 5)
    • C(-2, 3) and D(3, -9)
    • E(0, 0) and F(-5, 12)
  3. Find the midpoint of:
    • Line segment from (2, 8) to (10, 4)
    • Line segment from (-3, 7) to (5, -1)

Worksheet 2: Gradient and Equations

Topic: Finding gradients and writing equations of lines

Exercises:

  1. Find the gradient of the line through:
    • P(1, 3) and Q(5, 11)
    • R(-2, 4) and S(6, -4)
    • T(0, -3) and U(4, 5)
  2. Write the equation of the line:
    • With gradient 3 and y-intercept 5
    • With gradient -2 passing through (4, 1)
    • Through points (2, 3) and (6, 11)
  3. Convert to slope-intercept form (\(y = mx + c\)):
    • \(3x + y - 6 = 0\)
    • \(2x - 4y + 8 = 0\)
    • \(x + 2y - 10 = 0\)

Worksheet 3: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Topic: Working with parallel and perpendicular lines

Exercises:

  1. Determine whether each pair of lines is parallel, perpendicular, or neither:
    • \(y = 4x + 1\) and \(y = 4x - 3\)
    • \(y = 2x + 5\) and \(y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2\)
    • \(y = 3x - 1\) and \(y = 2x + 4\)
  2. Find the equation of:
    • The line parallel to \(y = 5x + 2\) through point (2, 3)
    • The line perpendicular to \(y = -3x + 1\) through point (6, 4)
    • The line parallel to \(2x + y - 4 = 0\) through point (-1, 5)
  3. Challenge problems:
    • Line \(L\) passes through A(1, 2) and B(7, 8). Find the equation of the line perpendicular to \(L\) that passes through the midpoint of AB.
    • Points P(2, 3), Q(6, 5), and R(x, y) form a right angle at Q. If the line PQ has gradient \(\frac{1}{2}\), find the gradient of QR.
