The question, in short

On a grid from −4 to 4, triangle A has vertices (−3, 1), (−3, 2) and (−1, 1). Draw its image after reflection in the line y = x.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 2 marks

  1. 1Reflecting in y = x swaps the coordinates: (a, b) → (b, a)
  2. 2(−3, 1) → (1, −3), (−3, 2) → (2, −3), (−1, 1) → (1, −1)
  3. 3Plot and join (1, −3), (2, −3), (1, −1)

AnswerCorrect triangle with vertices (1, −1), (1, −3), (2, −3)
