This is a non calculator question so the use of a calculator is penalised
(a)
M1: Attempts gradient. It must be the ''correct way up'' with y
and an attempt at differences (seen
x
or implied at least once on either the numerator or denominator). It is implied by a correct answer
dM1: Uses gradient and one of the points to form a straight line. The coordinates must be in the correct
place in the unsimplified equation. It is dependent upon the previous M

A1: y=− x + o.e. but it must be in the form y = mx + c . ISW after sight of a correct answer.
4 2
Alt (a) via simultaneous equations
M1: Attempts to form two simultaneous equations using both points and either y = mx + c or
ax + by + c = 0
dM1: Solves the two simultaneous equations via a non calculator method to find both unknowns.
It is important to see some working but it can be minimal. For example, 9 = −2m + c and
6 = 10m + c must be followed by 12m = −3 o.e before you see m = −0.25 oe.
A1: y = −0.25 x + 8.5 o.e. but it must be in the form y = mx + c .
Note that 101 is possible for candidates who don't show any working in solving their simultaneous
equations but produce the correct equation (in the correct form)

Don't be too concerned with accuracy here.....it is a method mark
A1: One correct coordinate, usually x = 2 but could be for y = 8 if solved differently
A1: R = (2, 8) . May be written separately
Solutions with no working, insufficient working and/ or via use of a calculator

For the M mark you should expect to see some working. As a minimum look for the two highlighted
equations (or their equivalent) where the x terms have been collected

Note 2
Coordinates can be given separately
E.g. (a) x = 540, y = −5
Note 3
Coordinates may appear within the question. Solutions to (b)(i) for example may well contain two
sets of coordinates. E.g. ( 360, 5) followed by ( 360, 3) . This will most likely be their working so
in almost all cases you will mark their final set of coordinates

Score B1 B0 for a correct solution but with the coordinates ''flipped''.

(a)
B1: shaped quadratic passing through the origin with maximum on the rhs of the y-axis and an
intercept on the + ve x-axis. Be tolerant of slips of the pen. It must appear in quadrants 3, 1 and 4
Ignore extra graphs (e.g. cubics) if they are superimposed on top of this one.
Score if the intention seems correct but do penalise shaped ''curves''
B1: Intersection at (4, 0). Allow 4 marked on the positive x- axis but (0, 4) is B0. Condone graphs that
just meet the x-axis at 4 for ones that seem to ''sit'' on the x -axis and only appear in quadrant 1.
(b)

M1: Attempts form of equation. E.g. y = Ax( x − 4) or y = 20 C ( x − 2) . Condone with A, C =1
It is possible they could try y = ax + bx + c with an attempt to use all three coordinates.

(c) All stages of working should be shown in this part so any omissions will be penalised
M1: Sets x x 2 − 4 = ''− 5 x( x − 4) '' condoning slips
The form of the quadratic must be correct. That is it must pass through (0, 0)
3 2
dM1: Multiplies out to reach an equation of the form px + qx + rx = 0 from which they factorise (or
cancel) out a factor of x. This may be implied as the x may be cancelled out previously, say on their
first line ddM1: Solves the resulting quadratic via an appropriate method.
Condone the use of a calculator for this mark. The solutions must be correct for their quadratic to
score this mark via the calculator.
A1: Chooses −8 for x coordinate of P. If x = 0, 3 are seen they must be rejected or −8 chosen
