Question
A (1, 1), B (5, 1), C (4, 2) and D (2, 2) are vertices of a quadrilateral. Name the quadrilateral ABCD. A, B, C, and D are reflected in the origin on to A’, B’, C’ and D’ respectively. Locate A’, B’, C’ and D’ on the graph sheet and write their co-ordinates. Are D, A, A’ and D’ collinear?

Solution

Quadrilateral ABCD is an isosceles trapezium.
Co-ordinates of A’, B’, C’ and D’ are A'(–1, –1), B'(–5, –1), C'(–4, –2) and D'(–2, –2) respectively.
It is clear from the graph that D, A, A’ and D’ are collinear.
