A
Fluency & Practice
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Rotate the point (3, 4) 90° clockwise about the origin. What are the coordinates of the image?
[2 marks]2.
Rotate the point (-5, 2) 90° clockwise about the origin. What are the new coordinates?
[2 marks]3.
Rotate the point (0, -6) 90° clockwise about the origin. Find the new position.
[2 marks]4.
What is the rule for rotating a point (x, y) 90° clockwise about the origin?
[2 marks]B
Problem Solving & Reasoning
Answer all questions with detailed explanations.
1.
A point P(7, -3) is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin. The image is point Q. If Q is at (3, 7), is this correct? Explain your reasoning and correct the mistake if any.
[3 marks]2.
A student claims rotating (x, y) 90° clockwise about the origin results in (x, y). Is this correct? Why or why not?
[3 marks]3.
Given a point (x, y), describe the steps to accurately rotate it 90° clockwise about the origin.
[3 marks]C
Real-world Applications
Solve the following word problems related to rotation about the origin.
1.
A drone starts at point (2, 3) and is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to reach a new position. Its new position is directly south of its original position. Find the new coordinates.
[3 marks]2.
A robot moves from (4, -5). After rotating 90° clockwise about the origin, it ends up at (5, 4). Is this consistent with the rotation rule? Explain.
[3 marks]D
Challenge & Extension
Attempt the following advanced problems. Show detailed working.
1.
Construct the image of the point (-6, 8) after a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin. Confirm whether your construction matches the rule.
[4 marks]2.
Prove that rotating any point (x, y) 90° clockwise is equivalent to multiplying the vector by a rotation matrix. Provide the matrix and demonstrate the transformation.
[4 marks]E
Mixed Review & Error Analysis
Identify and correct the errors in the following statements.
1.
A student states that rotating (x, y) 90° clockwise results in (x, y). Is this correct? If not, what is the mistake?
[2 marks]2.
A teacher claims that rotating (0, y) 90° clockwise results in (0, -y). Is this true? Explain.
