Coordinate Geometry — JAMB Mathematics Past Questions
Coordinate Geometry is one topic inside the JAMB Mathematics syllabus, and drilling it on its own is usually faster than revising the whole subject again. Below: which JAMB years have examined it, then real Coordinate Geometry questions with worked answers.
When JAMB examined Coordinate Geometry
Coordinate Geometry questions appear in our bank for the JAMB years below. This is taken from the questions themselves, not from a syllabus outline — so if a year is listed, this topic was genuinely examined that year.
A topic that keeps reappearing is a topic JAMB keeps testing. Newer years matter most, because question style drifts.

From the diagram below, find the value of \( x \)
- A 114°
- B 92°
- C 112°
- D 70°
Answer: D
The angles shown are alternate interior angles formed by parallel lines. Since one angle is \( 110^\circ \), the adjacent angle on the opposite side is \( x = 70^\circ \) because they are supplementary: \( 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ \).
The locus of a point equidistant from the intersection of lines \( 3x - 7y + 7 = 0 \) and \( 4x - 6y + 1 = 0 \) is:
- A Line parallel to \( 7x + 13y + 8 = 0 \)
- B Circle
- C Bisector of the line \( 7x + 13y + 8 = 0 \)
- D Semicircle

Check the answerThe equation 12x² − 8y² + 2x + 24y = 1 in the standard form is given by
- A (x + 1/2)² / 3 − (y − 3/2)² / 2 = 1
- B (x − 1/2)² / 3 − (y − 3/2)² / 2 = 1
- C (x + 1/2)² / 2 − (y − 3/2)² / 3 = 1
- D (x − 1/2)² / 2 − (y − 3/2)² / 3 = 1

Coordinate Geometry in JAMB Mathematics: common questions
Are Coordinate Geometry questions free?
Yes. Create a free account and every Mathematics question tagged to Coordinate Geometry is available with a worked explanation. Past questions are not paywalled.
Is Coordinate Geometry really examined?
Yes. Coordinate Geometry appears in our bank across 7 JAMB years, taken from the questions themselves rather than a syllabus outline.
Can I practise Coordinate Geometry on its own?
Yes. JambUp lets you filter Mathematics questions to a single topic, so you can drill Coordinate Geometry until it stops costing you marks, then move on to the next weak area.
