Question

Points in the plane are subjected to a transformation $T$ in which the point $(x, y)$ is transformed to the point $(x', y')$ where

$[\begin{matrix} x' \\ y' \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 \end{matrix}] [\begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix}]$ .

Describe, in words, the effect of the transformation $T$ .

a stretch of scale factor $3$ in the $x$ direction

and a stretch of scale factor $2$ in the $y$ direction A1

[1 mark]

the four sides are equal in length $(5)$ A1

$Grad AB = \frac{4}{3}, Grad BC = - \frac{3}{4}$ A1

so product of gradients $= - 1$ , therefore $AB$ is perpendicular to $BC$ A1

therefore $ABCD$ is a square AG

[3 marks]

b.i.

area of square $= 25$ A1

[1 mark]

b.ii.

the transformed points are

$A' = (3, 8)$

$B' = (12, 16)$

$C' = (24, 10)$

$D' = (15, 2)$ A2

Note: Award A1 if one point is incorrect.

[2 marks]

b.iii.

$Grad A'B' = \frac{8}{9}; Grad C'D' = \frac{8}{9}$ A1

therefore $A'B'$ is parallel to $C'D'$ R1

$Grad A'D' = - \frac{6}{12}; Grad B'C' = - \frac{6}{12}$ A1

therefore $A'D'$ is parallel to $B'C'$

therefore $A' B' C' D'$ is a parallelogram AG

[3 marks]

b.iv.

$area of parallelogram = |determinant| \times area of square$

$= 6 \times 25$ (M1)

$= 150$ A1
