Representation P(x, y) Each point P(x, y) on the coordinate plane can be represented by the 21 matrix

Matrix representation of the transformation Q(x’, y’) P(x, y) Suppose each point P(x, y) on the coordinate plane is to be transformed to its mirror image Q(x’, y’) about the y-axis. Matrix representation of the transformation

Reflection about the x-axis P(x, y) Q(x’, y’) Matrix representation of the transformation

Reflection about the line y = x Q(x’, y’) P(x, y) Matrix representation of the transformation

Reflection about y = (tan)x Q(r, 2 - a) Matrix representation of the transformation P(r, a) r

1998 Paper I Q.2 (P.279 Q.20) (x, y)  (-x, y): (x, y)  (y, x):

1999 Paper I Q.6 (P.279 Q.21) y = (tan a)x  y = ½ x  ? 1 2

1999 Paper I Q.6(b)

1999 Paper I Q.6(c) By (b), (x2, y2) = (8, -1) + (0, 3) = (8, 2). (4, 7) (4, 10) By (b), (x2, y2) = (8, -1) + (0, 3) = (8, 2). x2 = 8, y2 = 2 (8, 2) (8, -1)

Rotation through an angle  Q(r, a + ) Matrix representation of the transformation P(r, a) r

What should be its inverse? If M is its inverse, then Rotation through  Rotation through -

Don’t Confuse Them! Rotation through an angle  determinant = 1 Reflection about the line y = (tan )x determinant = -1
