Coordinate grid from -6 to 6 on both axes showing shape A with vertices (2, 1), (2, 3), (5, 2), (5, 1) and shape B with vertices (-2, -1), (-2, -3), (-5, -2), (-5, -1)

(a) Describe fully the single transformation that maps shape A onto shape B (2)

(b) On the grid, reflect shape A in the line with equation \(\;y = -1\) (2)

Mark scheme (a)

Scheme	Marks
rotation	B1
180° (or half turn) about (0, 0) or \(O\) or ‘the origin’	B1
	(2)

Notes

B1: oe with no mention of reflection, translation, enlargement, move, flip etc

B1: (SC B2 for “enlargement centre origin SF – 1”)
(ignore any reference to clockwise/anticlockwise)

Mark scheme (b)

Scheme	Marks
(2, –3) (2, –5) (5, –3) (5, –4) Answer: A correct shape	B2
	(2)
	(4 marks)

Notes

B2: (B1 for a ‘correct’ shape reflected in any horizontal line or a correct reflection in the line \(x = -1\) or for shape B reflected in \(y = -1\) )
