The question, in short

Using the grid, describe completely the one transformation that takes triangle A onto triangle B.

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

Solution · 2 marks

  1. 1B is the same size as A but upside down, so it is a rotation of 180°
  2. 2Each vertex of A maps to its negative: (−3, −3) → (3, 3), (−2, −5) → (2, 5)
  3. 3(x, y) → (−x, −y) is a rotation about the origin
  4. 4Rotation 180° centre (0, 0)

AnswerRotation 180° centre (0, 0)
