The diagram shows triangle A. [Figure 17.1 - A coordinate grid showing triangle A with vertices at (2,1), (3,1), (3,3).]

  1. (a)Triangle B is the image of triangle A after reflection in the line y=-1. Draw and label triangle B on the diagram.[1]
  2. (b)(i)Triangle C is the image of triangle A after a stretch, stretch factor 2 with the y-axis invariant. Draw and label triangle C on the diagram.[2]
  3. (b)(ii)Find the matrix representing the transformation that maps triangle A onto triangle C.[1]
