This post was updated in 2024 for the new GMAT. Earlier, we featured a blog of Coordinate Geometry practice questions.  Here are eight more questions, some of which are challenging. 1) Graph G has a line of symmetry of x = –5/2.  Graph G passes through the point (3, 3).  What is the x-coordinate of…

1) The line shown passes through the point (A, 30).  Which of the following is closest to the value of A? (A) 58 (B) 59 (C) 60 (D) 61 (E) 62 2) Line A has a slope of and passes through the point (–2, 7).  What is the x-intercept of Line A? 3) Line J…

For more information on Coordinate Geometry on the GMAT, see these articles: 1) Quadrants in the x-y Plane 2) Special Properties of y = x 3) Slopes 4) Midpoints and Parallel & Perpendicular lines   Here are five new practice problems on these topics. 1. The center of circle Q is on the y-axis, and…

First, a few practice questions. 1) Line A has the equation 3x + y = 7.  Which of the following lines is perpendicular to Line A? (A) y = 3x + 4 (B) y = –3x – 6 (C) y = (1/3)x – 1 (D) y = (–1/3)x + 2 (E) y = (–7/3)x –…

Here are a set of practice GMAT questions about the Cartesian plane. 1) What is the equation of the line that goes through (–2, 3) and (5, –4)? (A) y = –x + 1 (B) y = x + 5 (C) y = –3x/7 + 15/7 (D) y = –4x/3 + 1/3 (E) y =…

How do you find the distance between two points in the x-y plane?  First, try these practice questions. 1) What is the distance from (–7, 2) to (5, –3)? (A) 10 (B) 11 (C) 12 (D) 13 (E) 14 2) Consider the three points in the x-y plane: P = (8, 4), Q = (6,…
