Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
If a point P is at (3, 4), what are its coordinates after a 180° rotation about the origin?
[2 marks]
2.
Plot the point (–2, 5) on the grid. Then, plot its image after a 180° rotation about the origin. Label both points clearly.
[3 marks]
3.
Calculate the coordinates of the point (–6, –1) after rotating 180° about the origin.
[2 marks]
4.
A triangle with vertices at A(2, 3), B(4, –1), and C(–1, –2) is rotated 180° about the origin. Find the new coordinates of each vertex.
[4 marks]
5.
If a figure is rotated 180° about the origin and appears upside down, what can you say about its original orientation?
[3 marks]
6.
Construct a rectangle on the grid with vertices at (1, 1), (4, 1), (4, 3), and (1, 3). Rotate it 180° about the origin and label the new vertices.
[3 marks]
7.
A point moves from (–3, 7) to its new position after a 180° rotation. What is its new position?
[2 marks]
8.
Explain why rotating a point 180° about the origin results in the point being directly opposite to its original position.
[3 marks]
9.
Identify and correct the mistake in this statement: 'Rotating a point (x, y) 180° about the origin results in the point (x, y).'
[3 marks]
10.
A point (4, –3) is rotated 180°. What are the new coordinates?
[2 marks]
11.
A figure is rotated 180° about the origin. Describe a real-world scenario where this type of rotation might be used.
[3 marks]
