Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
If a point P is at (3, 4) on a coordinate plane, what are its coordinates after a 180° rotation about the origin?
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate the coordinates of point Q at (5, -2) after rotating 180° about point R at (2, 3).
[3 marks]
3.
A triangle has vertices at A(1, 2), B(4, 3), and C(2, 5). If the triangle is rotated 180° about point (2, 3), what are the new coordinates of A, B, and C?
[4 marks]
4.
A real-world scenario: A drone is flying at point (10, 4). It needs to fly to a new position after rotating 180° about a stationary tower at (6, 2). Find the drone's new coordinates.
[3 marks]
5.
Plot the graph of y=2x and then plot the point (3, 6). Rotate the point 180° about the origin and mark the new position on the grid.
[2 marks]
6.
Construct a triangle on the grid with vertices at (2, 2), (4, 2), and (3, 4). Rotate this triangle 180° about point (3, 3). Record the new vertices.
[4 marks]
7.
A mirror image of a point P(7, 1) is created by rotating 180° about point (5, 3). What are the coordinates of the reflected point?
[2 marks]
8.
Identify and correct the mistake in this student’s rotation: A student claims that rotating point (2, 3) 180° about (1, 1) results in (0, 2).
[3 marks]
9.
A painting is hung on a wall at point (4, 5). It is rotated 180° about a pivot point at (2, 2). What are the new coordinates of the painting?
[2 marks]
10.
Challenge: A robot starts at (8, 7) and rotates 180° about point (3, 4). Afterwards, it moves to (5, 0). What was its original position before the rotation?
[4 marks]
