1. JAN 2008 P1.

The coordinates of the vertices of triangle P are (4, 1), (5, 2) and (5, 1). Triangle P is enlarged by
scale factor 2, centre (4, 0), to give triangle Q. (a) On the grid draw and label triangle Q. Triangle
Q is reflected in the line y = x to give triangle R. (b) On the grid draw and label triangle R..

Triangle B is the image of triangle A after a rotation through w clockwise about O, followed by a
reflection in the line x = a. Find the value of w and the value of a.

3. JUNE 2007 P1.



ABCDE is a pentagon. The coordinates of A, C and D are (2, 0), (3, 5) and (5, 5) respectively.
The line y = x is the line of symmetry of the pentagon. On the grid, draw and label the
pentagon ABCDE.

4. JUNE 2007 P1.

Triangle B is the image of triangle A under the combined transformation of a reflection in the
line y = -x followed by a translation.
(a) On the diagram draw and label the line y = -x.
(b) On the diagram draw the image of triangle A after a reflection in the line y = -x. Label this
image.
(c) Describe the translation which maps triangle C onto triangle B.

7. JAN 2002 P1.
The points A (1, 0), B (1, 2), C (3, 2) and D (3, 0) are the vertices of a square of area 4 sq. units
and T = (
