1. Problem: Find the angle of rotation about the origin that maps point A(4, 5) to A'(-4, -5). 2. Explanation: Rotation about the origin by angle $\theta$ transforms point $(x, y)$ to $(x', y')$ by $$x' = x\cos\theta - y\sin\theta, \quad y' = x\sin\theta + y\cos\theta.$$ 3. Substitute $x=4$, $y=5$, $x'=-4$, $y'=-5$: $$-4 = 4\cos\theta - 5\sin\theta,$$ $$-5 = 4\sin\theta + 5\cos\theta.$$ 4. Multiply first equation by 5 and second by 4: $$-20 = 20\cos\theta - 25\sin\theta,$$ $$-20 = 16\sin\theta + 20\cos\theta.$$ 5. Subtract second from first: $$0 = 4\cos\theta - 41\sin\theta \implies 4\cos\theta = 41\sin\theta \implies \tan\theta = \frac{4}{41}.$$ 6. Check consistency with original equations; however, since $A'$ is the negative of $A$, this corresponds to rotation by $\pm 180^\circ$. 7. Final answer: The angle of rotation is $\pm 180^\circ$. --- 8. Problem: Find the image of point $P(x, y)$ under translation vector $(m, n)$. 9.

Problem: Given image $P'(m, n)$ of $P(x, y)$ under translation, find the translation vector. 12. Explanation: Translation vector is the difference between image and original point: $$\text{Translation vector} = (m - x, n - y).$$ 13. Final answer: Translation vector is $(m - x, n - y)$. --- 14. Problem: Find translation vector if point $(4, 5)$ maps to $(6, 8)$ under translation. 15. Explanation: Translation vector = $(6 - 4, 8 - 5) = (2, 3)$. 16.

Problem: Find image of $A(4, 5)$ enlarged by $E[(0, 1), 2]$. 21. Explanation: Enlargement about center $(0, 1)$ with scale factor 2: $$A' = (0 + 2(4 - 0), 1 + 2(5 - 1)) = (8, 9).$$ 22. Final answer: Image coordinates are $(8, 9)$. --- 23. Problem: If $A = \begin{pmatrix}2 & 1 \\ 3 & 4\end{pmatrix}$, find matrix $B$ such that $AB = I_2$. 24.

Inverse: $$B = \frac{1}{5} \begin{pmatrix}4 & -1 \\ -3 & 2\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{4}{5} & -\frac{1}{5} \\ -\frac{3}{5} & \frac{2}{5} \end{pmatrix}.$$ 27.

Inverse: $$A^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix}3 & -1 \\ -5 & 2\end{pmatrix}.$$ 32. Compute $C = A^{-1}B$: $$C = \begin{pmatrix}3 & -1 \\ -5 & 2\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}3 & 4 \\ 2 & 3\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}7 & 9 \\ -11 & -14\end{pmatrix}.$$ 33.

Final answer: Other end is $(6, 3)$. --- 69. Problem: Find ratio in which point $(5, 3)$ divides line segment joining $(2, 3)$ and $(7, 3)$. 70. Explanation: Since $y$ coordinates are same, ratio $m:n$ satisfies $$x = \frac{m \times 7 + n \times 2}{m + n} = 5.$$ 71. Let ratio be $m:n = k:1$: $$5 = \frac{7k + 2}{k + 1} \Rightarrow 5(k + 1) = 7k + 2 \Rightarrow 5k + 5 = 7k + 2 \Rightarrow 2k = 3 \Rightarrow k = \frac{3}{2}.$$ 72. Final answer: Ratio is $3:2$. --- 73. Problem: Find ratio in which point $(2, b)$ divides line segment joining $(-4, 3)$ and $(6, 3)$. 74. Explanation: $y$ coordinates are same, so $b=3$. 75. Let ratio be $m:n = k:1$: $$2 = \frac{6k - 4}{k + 1} \Rightarrow 2(k + 1) = 6k - 4 \Rightarrow 2k + 2 = 6k - 4 \Rightarrow 4k = 6 \Rightarrow k = \frac{3}{2}.$$ 76.

Explanation: - At X-axis, $y=0$: $$4x = 20 \Rightarrow x = 5.$$ - At Y-axis, $x=0$: $$5y = 20 \Rightarrow y = 4.$$ 87. Final answer: Intercepts are $(5, 0)$ and $(0, 4)$. --- 88. Problem: Given $AP = BP$ and $P(4, 3)$ lies on line segment $AB$ with $A$ on X-axis and $B$ on Y-axis, find $A$ and $B$. 89. Explanation: Let $A = (a, 0)$ and $B = (0, b)$. 90. Since $P$ is midpoint (because $AP = BP$), $$P = \left(\frac{a + 0}{2}, \frac{0 + b}{2}\right) = (4, 3).$$ 91. Equate components: $$\frac{a}{2} = 4 \Rightarrow a = 8,$$ $$\frac{b}{2} = 3 \Rightarrow b = 6.$$ 92. Final answer: $A = (8, 0)$, $B = (0, 6)$. --- 93.

Explanation: Distance formula from point $(x_0, y_0)$ to line $Ax + By + C = 0$ is $$d = \frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}.$$ 95. Substitute: $$5 = \frac{|p \times 2 - 4 \times (-3) + 7|}{\sqrt{p^2 + 16}} = \frac{|2p + 12 + 7|}{\sqrt{p^2 + 16}} = \frac{|2p + 19|}{\sqrt{p^2 + 16}}.$$ 96. Square both sides: $$25 = \frac{(2p + 19)^2}{p^2 + 16} \Rightarrow 25(p^2 + 16) = (2p + 19)^2.$$ 97. Expand: $$25p^2 + 400 = 4p^2 + 76p + 361.$$ 98. Rearrange: $$25p^2 - 4p^2 - 76p + 400 - 361 = 0 \Rightarrow 21p^2 - 76p + 39 = 0.$$ 99. Solve quadratic: $$p = \frac{76 \pm \sqrt{(-76)^2 - 4 \times 21 \times 39}}{2 \times 21} = \frac{76 \pm \sqrt{5776 - 3276}}{42} = \frac{76 \pm \sqrt{2500}}{42} = \frac{76 \pm 50}{42}.$$ 100. Solutions: $$p = \frac{76 + 50}{42} = \frac{126}{42} = 3,$$ $$p = \frac{76 - 50}{42} = \frac{26}{42} = \frac{13}{21}.$$ 101. Final answer: $p = 3$ or $p = \frac{13}{21}$.
