(2)
13
A triangle with vertices (3, 3), (5, 3) and (3, 6) is first translated by (2, -2) then enlarged by scale factor 2 about the origin. Find the coordinates after both transformations.
(3)
14
Enlarge the rectangle with corners (2, 2), (6, 2), (6, 4), (2, 4) by scale factor 0.5 about the point (2, 2). Give the coordinates of the image.
(3)
15
The point Q is at (-2, 5). It is translated by (4, -7) then enlarged by scale factor 3 about the origin. Find the final coordinates.
(3)
16
A triangle has vertices at (3, 0), (5, 0) and (3, 4). It is enlarged by scale factor 4 about the point (3, 0). Give the coordinates of the image.
(3)
17
A pentagon has a vertex at (0, 3). It is enlarged by scale factor 2 about the origin.
(a)Verify that the image of this vertex after the enlargement is (0, 6).(1)
(b)The original pentagon (before enlargement) is instead translated by the vector (2, -5). Find the coordinates of this translated vertex, starting from the original point (0, 3).(2)
18
Priya says: "Enlarging a shape by scale factor 1 about any point always gives the same shape in the same place." Is Priya correct? Give a reason.
