ECZ 2012 · O-Level Paper 1 — Geometrical Transformations
Triangle A has vertices (1, 3), (3, 3) and (3, 5). It is transformed by a shear with invariant line y = 2 and shear factor -2. What are the vertices of the image B?
- A. (3, 3), (5, 3), (7, 5)
- B. (-1, 3), (1, 3), (-3, 5)
- C. (1, 1), (3, 1), (3, 3)
- D. (-1, 3), (1, 3), (3, 5)
Verified working — step 1
A shear slides each point PARALLEL to the invariant line, by factor × its distance from that line - points ON y = 2 stay put.The full step-by-step working and final answer are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
