Test Corrections # 5

Question:
A coordinate grid has
the following set of ordered pairs: (2,-2), (0,-4), (3.0), (4,1), (5,2), (6,3). The point (0,-4) is out of place.How I got the answer wrong:
Instead of plotting down (-2,-5), I plotted down (-2,-4). So now the points: (-2,-4) and (0,-4) look out of place. But the question said only (0,-4) was out of place not (-2,-5). So I wrote FALSE instead of TRUE. That is how I got the answer wrong.
Blue: (0,-4) - The number that was out of place.
Green: (-2,-4) - The wrong ordered pair

Question:
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
___ 5. A coordinate grid has the following pairs
(-2,-5), (0,-4), (3,0), (4,1), (5,2), (6,3), The point (0,4) is out of place.
How I got the answer wrong...
Well first, I plotted all of the points on a coordinate grid and it showed me this...

Light Green being all the other points
Dark Green being (0,-4)
I thought that since the (-2,-5) is further away from all the other points, it is also out of place with (0,-4) so I put F-for false. BUT I WAS WRONG!
Answer:
The answer is T-for true. Even though (-2,-5) are further away from the other ordered pairs, they all still form a straight diagonal line. The only point out of place is (o,-4).

Test Correction For Question 22
Use the coordinate grid shown to do the following:
a) Rotate ABC 90 degrees in a counter clockwise direction about centre of rotation C.
b) Translate A' B' C' 3 units right and 3 units down.
c) What are the coordinates of B"
Answer :
a)
rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. b)
translated A' B' C' 3 units right and 3 units down.c) (1,0)
; here is a game you can play to practice rotation.

answer : is false the transformation does not change the size of sides or angles of the original figure
