Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Write the translation vector of point P(3, 5) moving 4 units right and 2 units down using correct notation.
[2 marks]
2.
Identify the error in the following vector notation: v = (3, -4).
[2 marks]
3.
Construct the translation vector for moving a point from (1, 2) to (4, 5).
[3 marks]
4.
Explain why the notation [→ egin{bmatrix} x \ y \\ end{bmatrix} is preferred over (x, y) for vectors.
[3 marks]
5.
A translation moves point A(2, 3) to point B(5, 7). Write the translation vector, ensuring correct notation.
[2 marks]
6.
Identify the mistake in this vector notation used in a student's work: v = [3, 4].
[2 marks]
7.
Plot the translation vector [→ egin{bmatrix} -2 \ 5 \\ end{bmatrix} on the grid.
[3 marks]
8.
A student writes [→ (4, -3)] when asked for a translation vector. Correct this notation.
[2 marks]
9.
Given the vector [→ egin{bmatrix} 1 \ -2 \\ end{bmatrix}, identify if the notation is correct. If not, correct it.
[2 marks]
10.
Explain the importance of consistent vector notation when communicating translation moves in geometry.
[3 marks]
11.
A student writes a translation vector as (5, 2) but intends to show a vector. Identify and correct the mistake.
[2 marks]
