Q2 — Apply a translation to a single point (2 marks)

GCSE · Mathematics · OCR · G24Describe translations as 2D vectors

Question

Question: The point P(3,2)P(3, -2) is translated by the vector (54)\begin{pmatrix} -5 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}. Find the coordinates of the image point PP'.


Mark scheme (2 marks):

  • M1: 3+(5)3 + (-5) or 2+4-2 + 4 seen (correct method on either axis).
  • A1: P(2,2)P'(-2, 2) — both coordinates correct, in correct order, written as a coordinate pair.

Accept on diagram if clearly labelled. Penalise once for vector–coordinate confusion (e.g. answer given as a column vector).
