ANSWERS
1 2

3 a) (1, 1) b) (0, -1) 4 a) (1, -2) b) (-1, 1)


5 a) Rotation, 180°, centre (0, 2) b) Rotation, 90°, clockwise, centre (-2, 2)

Notes
1 When you describe a rotation which is not 180°, you must say in which direction
(clockwise or anticlockwise).
2 Always check rotation answer using a piece of tracing paper.
2 To find the centre of harder rotations, you have to find two perpendicular
bisectors which intersect at the centre.
Challenge Draw the perpendicular bisectors of the lines AB and CD, and hence find
the centre of this rotation. Then find the angle of rotation.
