Coordinate Geometry

This document provides examples of past year SPM coordinate geometry questions from 2003 to 2007. The questions cover topics like finding equations of lines given information about slopes/intercepts/perpendicular lines, finding coordinates of points on lines or circles, finding loci of points, and determining ratios involving line segments. In general, the questions test students' abilities to apply properties of lines, circles, and coordinate geometry to analyze geometric relationships and solve for unknown values.
