Number
1. (a) Rotation 3 B1 Accept
‘rotate’, These marks are
‘rotated’ etc independent but
90° clockwise B1 Also accept award no marks
quarter turn if the answer is
clockwise, not a single
−90° or 270° transformation
(0, 0) B1 Also accept
origin, O
(b) vertices (4,4), (4,2), (5,2) R correct 2 B2 Condone omission of label
B1 for 2 correct vertices
Total 5 marks

2. (a) Rotation 3 B1
90° B1 Also accept These marks are
quarter turn or independent but
−270° award no marks if

a translation of the
correct R
