The diagram shows a sketch of triangle A and triangle B on a coordinate grid.

Coordinate grid with two triangles. Triangle A has vertices at (-11,-5), (-7,2), (f,-3). Triangle B has vertices at (6,12), (9,e), (2,d). Diagram not to scale.

Given that triangle A has been translated to give triangle B, work out the value of d, the value of e and the value of f

The diagram shows shape P and shape Q drawn on a grid.

Grid with two parallelograms labelled P and Q. P is smaller, at coordinates 2,3 to 3,5. Q is larger, at 6,5 to 9,10. Axes range from 1 to 12.

Describe fully the single transformation that maps shape P onto shape Q
