ECZ 2021 · O-Level Paper 1 — Geometrical Transformations

The diagram below shows triangle A which is mapped onto triangle B by a single transformation P. Describe fully the transformation P.

Diagram for ECZ 2021 · O-Level Paper 1
  • A. Translation by 44
  • B. Rotation through 90° about (12, 0)
  • C. Reflection in the x-axis
  • D. Reflection in the line y = -x

Verified working — step 1

Check ORIENTATION before naming any transformation: going around A's vertices clockwise, the matching trip around B runs anticlockwise - a flip, so it must be a reflection.

The full step-by-step working and final answer are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
