Transformations of Shapes
Current PowerPoint version
Higher June 2025 Paper 2R Q5
5

(a) On the grid above, reflect shape A in the line \(y = x\) (2)

(b) On the grid above, enlarge shape B by scale factor 2 with centre \((1, 1)\) (2)
Mark scheme (a)| Scheme | Marks |
|---|
Vertices at (2, 5) (2, 8) (3, 6) (3, 7) | B2 |
| (2) |
Notes
B2: for correct shape in correct position
(B1 for correct orientation of shape but wrong position
or for 3 out of 4 vertices correct
or for \(y = x\) drawn)
Mark scheme (b)| Scheme | Marks |
|---|
Vertices at (5, 3) (5, 7) (7, 7) (9, 3) | B2 |
| (2) |
| (4 marks) |
Notes
B2: for correct shape in correct position
(B1 for correct size and orientation of shape but wrong position
or for 3 out of 4 vertices correct)
Higher June 2025 Paper 2 Q2
2

(a) On the grid, enlarge shape A with scale factor 3 and centre \((0, 1)\) (2)

(b) Describe fully the single transformation that maps triangle P onto triangle Q (3)
Mark scheme (a)| Scheme | Marks |
|---|
 Answer: Correct shape drawn in correct position | B2 |
| (2) |
Notes
B2: Shape drawn with coordinates (3, 1), (9, 1), (9, 10), (6, 10), (6, 4), (3, 4)
(B1 for a shape of the correct size but in the wrong position)
NB Overlay is available
Mark scheme (b)| Scheme | Marks |
|---|
‘Turn’ is not sufficient Answer: Rotation | B1 |
| \(180^\circ\) | B1 |
| (centre) (5, 5) | B1 |
| (3) |
| (5 marks) |
Notes
B1: with no mention of any other transformation words or move, flip, transform, up, right etc
B1: allow ‘half turn’
B1: must be a coordinate and not a vector
B2 for enlargement SF –1
(Ignore any reference to clockwise or anticlockwise)
