Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2011). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

  1. [1] m_AB = 2
  2. [1] Uses m₁m₂ = -1 and point A
  3. [1] AD: y - 4 = -(1/2)(x - 1) or x + 2y = 9 or y = -(1/2)x + 9/2
  4. [1] CD: y - 13 = 2(x - 13) or y = 2x - 13
  5. [1] Solve equation AD with equation CD
  6. [1] (7,1)
