[2 marks]
2.
Translate the point A(5, -3) using the vector (-2, 4). What are the coordinates of the translated point?
[2 marks]
3.
Construct the image of the point (2, 4) after applying the translation vector (3, -2).
[2 marks]
4.

[3 marks]
5.
A rectangle has vertices at (1, 2), (4, 2), (4, 5), and (1, 5). If all points are translated by the vector (2, -3), what are the new coordinates of the vertices?
[3 marks]
6.
Explain why translating a point using a vector preserves the shape and size of a figure.
[4 marks]
7.
