Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
If a point P at (3, 2) is translated by the vector (4, -1), what are the coordinates of the new point P'?
[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.
A point B is at (0, 0). If it is translated by the vector (x, y) and ends up at (5, 3), find the values of x and y.
[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.
A triangle has vertices at (2, 3), (4, 5), and (3, 7). If it is translated by the vector (-2, 2), what are the new coordinates of the vertices?
[3 marks]8.
Construct a translation that moves the point (6, 4) to the point (2, 1). What is the translation vector?
[2 marks]9.
Identify the common mistake made when translating points, and explain how to correct it.
[3 marks]10.
For the point (–1, 3), apply the translation vector (4, 5). What are the new coordinates?
[2 marks]11.
A school bus starts at (0, 0) and moves according to the vector (3, 4). Where will the bus be after 5 moves?
