GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Graphs: Coordinates and Midpoints - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving 4 identical squares. It details the process of calculating the X and Y coordinates of point C using given coordinates of points A and B. The tutorial also discusses the distribution of marks for each step in the solution, emphasizing the importance of understanding the problem setup and calculations.

What is the initial step in solving the problem involving the pattern of squares?

• Identifying the coordinates of point C

• Calculating the distance between points A and B

• Finding the Y coordinate of point C

• Determining the number of squares

How is the side length of each square determined?

• By multiplying the coordinates of points A and B

• By dividing the distance between points A and B by 4

• By adding the coordinates of points A and B

• By subtracting the Y coordinate of point A from point B

What is the X coordinate of point C?

• 22

• 14

• 38

• 6

How is the Y coordinate of point C calculated?

• By adding 8 to the Y coordinate of point A

• By multiplying the Y coordinate of point A by 2

• By subtracting 16 from the Y coordinate of point B

• By dividing the Y coordinate of point B by 2

What is the final coordinate of point C?

• (6, 7)

• (38, 36)

• (14, 28)

• (22, 20)
