Exam questions on Transformations

Triangle $T$ has vertices $A(1,1)$ , $B(4,1)$ and $C(4,3)$ on a coordinate grid.
$T$ is reflected in the $x$ -axis to give triangle $T_1$ . Find the coordinates of the vertices of $T_1$ .2 marks
The point $M(3,2)$ is plotted on a coordinate grid. The origin is $O$ .
$M$ is rotated $180^\circ$ about the point $(1,1)$ . Find the coordinates of the image of $M$ .2 marks
Triangle $A$ has vertices $(1,1)$ , $(3,1)$ and $(3,2)$ on a coordinate grid.
