A translation moves every point 4 units right and 2 units down. Which vector describes it?
Answer: (4, -2)
Right is +x and down is -y, so the vector is (4, -2).
Which transformation is NOT an isometry?
Answer: Dilation with factor 2
A dilation with factor 2 changes size, so it is not an isometry.
What is the slope of a horizontal line?
Answer: 0
A horizontal line has no vertical change, so its slope is 0.
Point (1, 1) is rotated 180 degrees about the origin. Its image is?
Answer: (-1, -1)
A 180 degree rotation maps (x, y) to (-x, -y), giving (-1, -1).
What is the distance from the origin to the point (6, 8)?
Answer: 10
Distance = sqrt(6^2 + 8^2) = sqrt(100) = 10.
The line y = -x + 5 crosses the x-axis at what point?
Answer: (5, 0)
Set y = 0: 0 = -x + 5, so x = 5, giving (5, 0).
Which point lies on the line y = 3x - 1?
Answer: (2, 5)
For x = 2: y = 3(2) - 1 = 5, so (2, 5) lies on the line.
