Stage 8 - Q4 - 2 marks
18680

A translation maps \((2,-3)\) to \((-4,5)\). Find its vector.

Hint

The vector describes the change, not the final position.

Stage 8 - Q5 - 3 marks
18681

A translation by \(\binom{5}{-7}\) gives image \((1,2)\). Find the original point.

Hint

Undo both coordinate changes.

Stage 8 - Q6 - 4 marks
18682

A horizontal segment has endpoints \((-1,2)\) and \((4,2)\). Translate it by \(\binom{3}{-5}\) and show that its length is unchanged.

Hint

Compare the difference between endpoints before and after.

Stage 8 - Q7 - 4 marks
18683

Combine translations \(\binom{4}{-3}\) and \(\binom{-6}{8}\). Does their order change the final image?

Hint

Addition of each pair of components is commutative.

Stage 8 - Q8 - 4 marks
18684

P\((3,-2)\) is translated by \(\binom{a}{4}\) to a point on the line \(x=9\). Find a and the image.

Hint

Use the line equation as a coordinate condition.

Stage 8 - Q9 - 5 marks
18685

Three translations return every point to its start. Two vectors are \(\binom{5}{-1}\) and \(\binom{-2}{6}\). Find the third vector and justify it.

Hint

The total vector must be zero.

Stage 8 - Q10 - 6 marks
18686

Triangle A\((1,2)\), B\((4,2)\), C\((1,5)\) is translated. The midpoint of AA′ is \((4,-1)\). Find the translation vector and all three image vertices.

Hint

Use the midpoint information before considering B and C.
