Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Hey Fp1 singular matrix question, help would be much appreciated

http://www.mei.org.uk/files/papers/fp106ja_pcx12a.pdf
It's question 9 on this paper and it's these parts

(v) For a different set of lines, the transformation T has the same effect as translation parallel to
the x-axis. Describe this set of lines. [1]
(vi) Find the matrix which represents the transformation.
Thanks for any help :smile:

You know what the translated line is going to look like, as there is only one line after translation. That should give you a clue.

(vi) Find the matrix which represents the transformation.

Well what does the point (x,y) get mapped to, in terms of x and y?

Good that you bumped it - there have been a few threads appearing on here showing the MBT bot, and being several days old. And the only scenario I can think of, is they had been moved here, but not bumped. Can you make other mods aware of this. :smile:

You're welcome. Good that you could finish it yourself from just a hint.

Bump:
Most forums are looked at with the latest post at the top. As your thread was 17+ hrs old it would have been down on the 2nd or 3rd page or more, and unlikely to be seen.
A "bump" just adds a post resulting in the thread appearing at the top of page one again.
