Answer and see the solution →Triangle P is translated and then reflected. Triangle P with vertices A(1, 1), B(4, 1) and C(1, 4) is translated by the vector , then reflected in the line . Give the coordinates of the vertices after both transformations. Show all your working.
Question 3

Answer and see the solution →The diagram shows trapezium Q with vertices at (2, 1), (6, 1), (6, 3), and (2, 3).
Trapezium Q a) Write down the vector that translates Q so that P1 moves to (4, –2).
b) What are the new coordinates of P3 after the translation?
(a)[1 mark]Write down the translation vector.
(b)[2 marks]Calculate the new coordinates of P3 after the translation.
