Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Express the translation of point P(3, 5) by the vector \\vec{v} = \\begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \\end{bmatrix} in coordinate form.
[2 marks]
2.
If a point Q has position vector \\vec{q} = \\begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \\end{bmatrix}, what is the position vector after translation by \\vec{u} = \\begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ -2 \\end{bmatrix}?
[2 marks]
3.
Write the vector notation for translating a point by 4 units right and 3 units up.
[2 marks]
4.
Construct and label a vector that moves a point 2 units left and 5 units down on the grid.
[3 marks]
5.
Given the point R(1, -3) and vector \\vec{w} = \\begin{bmatrix} -4 \\ 6 \\), find the coordinates of the translated point.
[2 marks]
6.
A translation moves point A(7, 2) to point B(3, -1). Write the column vector representing this translation.
[2 marks]
7.
If the translation vector is \\vec{t} = \\begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ 0 \\), what are the coordinates of the point after translating (2, 7)?
[2 marks]
8.
Explain what the notation \\vec{p} + \\vec{v} = \\begin{bmatrix} x + a \\ y + b \\} means in translation context.
[3 marks]
9.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following notation: Moving point (4, 5) by vector \\begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \\} results in point (6, 8).
[3 marks]
10.
Challenge: Given points S(2, -1) and T(5, 4), find the translation vector that moves S to T. Write your answer in column vector notation.
[3 marks]
