- 1Triangle ABC has vertices A(1,1), B(4,1) and C(1,3). Triangle ABC is translated by the column vector to form triangle A'B'C'.(a)What are the coordinates of A'?[1 mark]
- A(-2, -1)
- B(4, 3)
- C(4, -1)
- D(1, 3)
(b)What are the coordinates of B'?[1 mark]- A(1, -1)
- B(7, -1)
- C(7, 3)
- D(4, -1)
(c)What single transformation maps triangle A'B'C' back onto triangle ABC?[1 mark]- AEnlargement, scale factor
- BReflection in the x-axis
- CRotation of 180° about the origin
- DTranslation by

- 2Point P has coordinates (2, 5) and is reflected in the line to give point P'. Point Q has coordinates (-3, 2) and is reflected in the y-axis to give point Q'.(a)Find the coordinates of P', the image of P after reflection in the line .[2 marks](b)Find the coordinates of Q', the image of Q after reflection in the y-axis.[2 marks]

- 3Triangle DEF has vertices D(2,1), E(5,1), F(2,4). Triangle DEF is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to form triangle D'E'F'.(a)Find the coordinates of D' and E' after this rotation.[3 marks](b)Find the coordinates of F', and state whether the rotation changes the area of the triangle, giving a reason.[3 marks]

- 4Shape S has vertices at (1,1), (3,1) and (1,4). Shape S is enlarged by scale factor 2, centre (0,0), to form shape T. Shape T is then translated by vector to form shape U.(a)Find the coordinates of the vertices of shape T.[4 marks](b)Find the coordinates of the vertices of shape U.[4 marks](c)Calculate the area of shape S, then use the properties of enlargement and translation to find the area of shape U, explaining your reasoning.[5 marks]
