Practise reflections, rotations, enlargements, translations and vector calculations across coordinate grids and geometric proofs.
The diagram shows a point P and three triangles, A, B and C, on a 1 cm2 grid.

Work out the coordinates of point P after a translation by the vector (12−20).

Draw the image of triangle A after a reflection in the line y=-1.
Triangle drawn with coordinates (1,-2),(2,-2) and (2,-5)
B1 for reflection in y=k or in x=-1

On the grid, draw the image of
triangle A after a rotation of 90∘ clockwise about the origin,
Triangle at (2,-3),(5,-3),(5,-2)
B1 for correct size and orientation but wrong position
or for correct 90∘ anticlockwise about the origin
triangle A after an enlargement, scale factor 2, centre (7,7).
Triangle at (-3,3),(-1,3),(-1,-3)
B1 for correct size and orientation but wrong centre
The diagram shows a rectangle and two points, P and C, on a 1 cm2 grid.
The rectangle is enlarged by scale factor 2 with centre of enlargement point C.
Find the coordinates of the image of point P.
