Stage 8 - Q1 - 3 marks
18747

Translate P by \(\binom{-2}{3}\).

\[P=(6,-4)\]
Hint

Add the vector entries to the coordinates.

Stage 8 - Q2 - 3 marks
18748

Reflect P in \(y=x\).

\[P=(-7,2)\]
Hint

Swap coordinates.

Stage 8 - Q3 - 3 marks
18749

Rotate P 90 degrees anticlockwise about the origin.

\[P=(5,-2)\]
Hint

Use (x,y)↦(−y,x).

Stage 8 - Q4 - 3 marks
18750

Enlarge P by scale factor 3 about K\((1,0)\).

\[P=(3,2)\]
Hint

Triple displacement (2,2) and add the centre.

Stage 8 - Q5 - 4 marks
18751

A transformation preserves all lengths but reverses orientation. Which of translation, reflection, rotation and positive enlargement fits this description? Explain.

Hint

Compare the ordering of corresponding vertices.

Stage 8 - Q6 - 4 marks
18752

Reflect \((2,5)\) in the x-axis, then translate by \((3,1)\). Reverse the order and compare the results.

Hint

Do both sequences one step at a time.

Stage 8 - Q7 - 4 marks
18753

A half turn about K maps \((4,2)\) to \((-2,6)\). Find K. Then reflect K in \(y=-x\).

Hint

Solve the centre problem before the second transformation.

Stage 8 - Q8 - 5 marks
18754

A point is enlarged by scale factor 2 about the origin, then translated by \((3,-1)\), giving image \((11,5)\). Find the original point.

Hint

Undo a sequence in the reverse order.

Stage 8 - Q9 - 5 marks
18755

Reflect a general point in \(y=x\), then rotate 90 degrees clockwise about the origin. Identify the equivalent single reflection.

Hint

Use a general ordered pair so your conclusion applies to every point.

Stage 8 - Q10 - 6 marks
18756

A triangle has A\((1,1)\), B\((3,1)\) and C\((1,2)\). First enlarge it by factor 2 about K\((1,1)\), then rotate 90 degrees anticlockwise about the same K. Find every final vertex and show that doing the two operations in the opposite order gives the same result.

Hint

The shared centre lets you compare operations on the same displacement vectors.
