Q.1. For the points P1(1, 1), P2(3, 1), P3 (4, 2), P4 (2, 3), that defines a 2-D polygon,
develop a single transformation matrix that
a) Reflects about the line x = 0,
b) Translates by –1 in both x and y directions, and
c) Rotates about the z-axis by 180° [10 Marks]
Using the transformations, determine the new position vectors.

Q.2. Show that the reflection about an arbitrary line ax + by + c = 0 is given by

𝑏 2 − 𝑎2 − 2𝑎𝑏 0
− 2𝑎𝑏 𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 0
[ 1 ]
− 2𝑎𝑐 − 2 𝑏𝑐
𝑎2 + 𝑏 2
[10 Marks]
Q.3. A conic is described by the following equation:

𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 8
a) Determine the type of conic
b) Transform the conic such that its axes are parallel to coordinate axes and center
lies at the origin. Upon transformation of the conic, determine the dimensions of
the conic [10 Marks]

Q.4. Given the end position vectors P0 (0, 0), P1 (3, 4) and the tangent vectors P0 =  1 1
and P1 = 1 1 , find the equation of cubic spline using
a. chord–length approximation for the parameter t (0 ≤ t ≤ t1) and
b. normalized approximation for the parameter t (0 ≤ t ≤ 1). [10 Marks]
