Shape A is drawn on the grid.
(a) On the grid, translate shape A by the vector $\begin{pmatrix} -5 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}$. Label the new shape B. [2]
(b) The point $(2,\ 5)$ is translated by the vector $\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix}$.
Write down the coordinates of its image. [1]
- (a) A translation of shape A by $\begin{pmatrix} -5 \\ k \end{pmatrix}$ or $\begin{pmatrix} k \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}$, i.e. correct shape and orientation moved correctly in one direction onlyB1
- (a) Shape B drawn with vertices at $(-4, 3), (-1, 3), (-1, 4), (-3, 5)$ — fully correct (B2 total)B1
- (b) $(5,\ 1)$ (do not accept a column vector)B1
- Answer: (a) B has vertices $(-4,3), (-1,3), (-1,4), (-3,5)$; (b) $(5,\ 1)$
- Examiner tip: The top number of the vector moves the shape left/right and the bottom number up/down: count squares from each vertex, not from the edge of the shape.
