Chapter Test

1. The point P (4, – 7) on reflection in x-axis is mapped onto P’. Then P’ on reflection in the y-axis is mapped onto P”. Find the co-ordinates of P’ and P”. Write down a single transformation that maps P onto P”.

Solution:

Given,

P’ is the image of P (4, -7) reflected in x-axis

Thus, the co-ordinates of P’ are (4, 7)

Again P” is the image of P’ reflected in y-axis

Hence, the co-ordinates of P” are (-4, 7)

Therefore, single transformation that maps P and P” is in the origin.

2. The point P (a, b) is first reflected in the origin and then reflected in the y-axis to P’. If P’ has co-ordinates (3, – 4), evaluate a, b

Solution:

The co-ordinates of image of P (a, b) reflected in origin are (-a, -b).

Again, the co-ordinates of P’ which is image of the above point (-a, -b) reflected in the y-axis are (a, -b).

But the co-ordinates of P’ are (3, -4)

Thus, a = 3 and -b = -4 ⇒ b = 4

3. A point P (a, b) becomes (– 2, c) after reflection in the x-axis, and P becomes (d, 5) after reflection in the origin. Find the values of a, b, c and d.

Solution:

Given, point P (a, b) and the image of P (a, b) after reflected in the x-axis be (a, -b)

But it is given as (-2, c)

Thus, a = -2, c = -b

Next,

If P is reflected in the origin, then its co-ordinates will be (-a, -b)

But it is given as (d, 5)

Thus,

-b = 5 ⇒ b = -5,

d = -a = -(-2) = 2,

c = -b = -(-5) = 5

Thus,

a = -2, b = -5, c = 5 and d = 2

4. A (4, – 1), B (0, 7) and C (– 2, 5) are the vertices of a triangle. ∆ ABC is reflected in the y-axis and then reflected in the origin. Find the co-ordinates of the final images of the vertices.

Given, A (4, -1), B (0, 7) and C (-2, 5) are the vertices of ∆ABC.

∆ABC after reflecting in y-axis, the co-ordinates of points will be A’ (-4, -1), B’ (0, 7), C’ (2, 5).

Again, when ∆A’B’C’ reflecting in origin:

The co-ordinates of the images of the vertices will be A” (4, 1), B” (0, -7), C” (-2, -5).

5. The points A (4, – 11), B (5, 3), C (2, 15), and D (1, 1) are the vertices of a parallelogram. If the parallelogram is reflected in the y-axis and then in the origin, find the co-ordinates of the final images. Check whether it remains a parallelogram. Write down a single transformation that brings the above change.

Solution:

Given, points A (4, -11), B (5, 3), C (2, 15) and D (1, 1) are the vertices of a parallelogram.

After reflecting in y-axis, the images of these points will be

A’ ( -4, 11), B’ (-5, 3), C (-2, 15) and D’ (-1, 1).

Again, reflecting these points in origin, the image of these points will be A” (4, -11), B” (5, -3), C” (2, -15) and D” (0, -1).

Yes, the reflection of a single transformation is in the x-axis.

6. Use a graph paper for this question (take 2 cm = 1 unit on both x and y axes). 

(i) Plot the following points: A (0, 4), B (2, 3), C (1, 1) and D (2, 0). 

(ii) Reflect points B, C, D on y-axis and write down their coordinates. Name the images as B’, C’, D’ respectively. 

(iii) Join points A, B, C, D, D’, C’, B’ and A in order, so as to form a closed figure. Write down the equation of line of symmetry of the figure formed.

Solution:

(i) On graph: A (0, 4), B (2, 3), C (1, 1) and D (2, 0)

(ii) Point after reflection on y-axis are B’ = (-2, 3), C’ = (-1, 1) and D’ = (-2, 0)

(iii) The points A, B, C, D, D’, C’, B’ and A in order to form a closed figure.

Hence, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = 0

7. The triangle OAB is reflected in the origin O to triangle OA’B’. A’ and B’ have coordinates ( – 3, – 4) and (0, – 5) respectively.

(i) Find the co-ordinates of A and B. 

(ii) Draw a diagram to represent the given information. 

(iii) What kind of figure is the quadrilateral ABA’B’?

(iv) Find the coordinates of A”, the reflection of A in the origin followed by reflection in the y-axis.

(v) Find the co-ordinates of B”, the reflection of B in the x-axis followed by reflection in the origin.

Solution:

Given,

∆ OAB is reflected in the origin O to ∆ OA’B’,

And the co-ordinates of A’ = (-3, -4) and B’ = (0, -5).

(i) Hence, the co-ordinates of A will be (3, 4) and of B will be (0, 5).

(ii) The diagram representing the given information has been drawn here.

(iii) The figure in the diagram is a rectangle.

(iv) The co-ordinates of B’, the reflection of B is the x-axis is (0, -5) and co-ordinates of B”, the reflection in origin of the point (0, -5) will be (0, 5).

(v) The co-ordinates of the points, the reflection of A in the origin are (-3, -4) and coordinates of A”, the reflected in y-axis of the point (-3, – 4) are (3, -4).
