The position vector of point A is (4, 7) and the position vector of point B is (9, 2).
- (a)(i)Find the column vector AB.[1]
- (a)(ii)Find |AB|.[2]
- (a)(iii)ABCD is a parallelogram with sides AB, BC, CD and DA. BC = (-4, 1). Find the coordinates of point C and point D.[2]
- (b)P is the point (r, 4) and Q is the point (t, u). The midpoint of line PQ is (1, 3). The gradient of line PQ is -1/4. Find the value of each of r, t and u.[4]
Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2022). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
