- 1.The point (4, −3) is reflected in the y-axis. Work out the coordinates of the image point.
- 2.A rectangle has vertices A(1, 1), B(4, 1), C(4, 5) and D(1, 5). Work out the perimeter of the rectangle.
- 3.The point A(3, 2) is translated by the vector (−5, 4) to give point B. Work out the coordinates of B.
- 4.A is the point (1, 3) and B is the point (7, 3). Work out the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.
- 5.A path goes from A(1, 1) to B(1, 5), then from B to C(6, 5). Work out the total length of the path from A to C.
