Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the image of the point (3, 4) when enlarged from the origin with a scale factor of 2.
[2 marks]
2.
If a point (x, y) is enlarged from the origin with scale factor 3, write the formula to find its new coordinates.
[2 marks]
3.
A triangle has vertices at (1, 2), (4, 3), and (2, 5). If enlarged from the origin with a scale factor of 0.5, what are the new coordinates?
[3 marks]
4.
Identify the mistake in the following reasoning: enlarging a point (x, y) from a different point (not the origin) with scale factor 4 results in coordinates (4x, 4y).
[3 marks]
5.
Construct an enlargement of the point (-2, 3) from the origin with a scale factor of 1.5. Show the new coordinates.
[3 marks]
6.
A shape scaled from the origin with a scale factor of 2 is incorrectly plotted with a scale factor of 3. Describe the error and how to correct it.
[3 marks]
7.
Plot the graph of y = 2x for x values from -3 to 3.
[2 marks]
8.
Construct a triangle with vertices at (1, 1), (3, 1), and (2, 4). Enlarge it from the origin with a scale factor of 2 and show the new vertices.
[3 marks]
9.
A student mistakenly applies a scale factor of 1.5 to a point (x, y) but forgets to multiply both coordinates. Explain the effect of this mistake.
[3 marks]
10.
Given a point (5, -2), enlarge it with a scale factor of 0.5 from the origin. What are the new coordinates?
[2 marks]
