I need help in part b i and ii

for i

#

i try work these out using unit vectors

#

unit i vector is 1 0
unit j vector is 0 1

#

so this is our original matrix of points

#

you wanna plot those two points

#

then reflect in the line y = -2x

#

T will be wherever the new positions are

#

is this aqa gcse fm

marsh shoal
#

y = x

0 1
1 0

calm

marsh shoal
#

mhm

#

would that mean then tantheta (-2)

#

then theta = inverse tan (-2)?

#

sorry had to do smth

fathom path
#

cos sohcahtoa is to do with lengths

#

and lengths cant be -ve

fathom path
#

wth is this question

#

@marsh shoal managed to do part i

#

theres probs a shorter way but i could only figure out how to do it algebraically

marsh shoal
fathom path
#

it involves perpendicular bisectors

#

its some long method i did

marsh shoal
#

ahh, I see. What answer did you get?

fathom path
#

-3/5 -4/5
-4/5 3/5

marsh shoal
#

ahhh okay ty

#

so I have to do the perpendicular bisector

fathom path
#

so u got ur unit vectors

#

which are (0,1) and (1,0) right

marsh shoal
#

yes

fathom path
#

for (0,1)

#

find the normal to the line y = -2x

#

what do u get

marsh shoal
#

this is how I did it

I found a formula online somewhere

#

the the next part we use the T Matrix X by the C and D co-ordinates?
