The diagram shows triangles A and B. [Figure: Coordinate plane with triangle A (vertices at approx (3,2), (5,1), (4,2)) and triangle B (vertices at approx (-3,-2), (-5,-1), (-4,-2))].

  1. (a)Describe fully the single transformation that maps triangle A onto triangle B.[2]
  2. (b)Triangle A is mapped onto triangle C by a rotation, 90° anti-clockwise about the origin. On the diagram, draw triangle C.[2]

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
