Show the answer and mark scheme
11(a)[3]
–4.3 –3.5 –2 [3]
B1 for each Accept –4.25 for –4.3, –17 4 and – 7 2
11(b)[4]
Correct graph [4]
B3FT for 8 correct points For 4 marks must not be ruled. or B2FT for 6 correct points Mark curve first, accuracy 1mm radially. or B1FT for 4 correct points Condone slight feathering in no more than 2 places. No excessively thick curve or incorrect curvature. Ends of graph should have correct curvature. If not 4 marks, mark plots with same accuracy as curve. If large plot, look at centre of plot with tolerance same as the curve. Curve can imply any missing plots.
11(c)[2]
y = 2 drawn FT their curve and y = 2 drawn [2]
M1 Must intersect the curve Accept good freehand, allow dashed. A1 If 0 scored,
SC1 for y = 2 seen and a correct Tolerance: half small square. reading from their graph
11(d)[1]
y = –5 [1]
Guidance 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 360.
