Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Write the translation vector for moving point P(2, 3) by the vector (4, -1). Use proper notation.
[2 marks]
2.
If a point Q(5, -2) is translated by the vector (3, 4), what are its new coordinates?
[3 marks]
3.
Express the translation of point R(0, 0) by vector (−2, 5) using vector notation.
[2 marks]
4.
Construct a translation on the grid that moves point A(1, 1) to point B(4, 5). What is the translation vector?
[3 marks]
5.
Translate point C(−3, 2) using the vector (2, −3). Write the notation for this translation.
[2 marks]
6.
A point S has coordinates (7, -4). If it is translated by the vector (−1, 3), what are the new coordinates? Show your working.
[4 marks]
7.
Identify the error in the following translation notation: T = (−2, 5) moves point (3, 4) to (1, 9). Is this correct? Explain.
[4 marks]
8.
Express the translation that moves point (−1, 2) to (2, 5) using vector notation. Show your reasoning.
[3 marks]
9.
Given the translation vector T = (4, -2), what is the translation of point (0, 0)? Write the result in coordinates.
[2 marks]
10.
For the vector notation T = (x, y), explain what each part represents in terms of translation movement.
[3 marks]
11.
Identify and correct the mistake in this translation: T = (−3, 4) moves point (1, 2) to (−2, 6). Is the move correct?
[4 marks]
