Stage 9 - Q4 - 3 marks
20030

ABC is translated by \((2,1)\) then rotated 90° clockwise about \((0,-1)\). Describe how to undo both operations.

Hint

Undo the transformations in reverse order.

Stage 9 - Q5 - 4 marks
20031

For \(P=(-3,1)\), compare a 90° anticlockwise rotation about \((-1,-1)\) then translation \((1,1)\) with the reverse order.

Hint

Write the intermediate coordinate in each order.

20035

For \(P=(0,-2)\), compare a 90° anticlockwise rotation about \((1,0)\) then translation \((3,2)\) with the reverse order.

Hint

Write the intermediate coordinate in each order.

Stage 9 - Q10 - 6 marks
20036

A half-turn about \(C=(1,-2)\) is followed by a half-turn about \(D=(4,1)\). Find one equivalent transformation and explain what happens if the order is reversed.

Hint

A half-turn about C maps P to \(2C-P\).
