Transformations — practice question

A coordinate grid is displayed, and the shaded figure is marked T. The vertices of shape T are plotted on the grid. Both the x-axis and y-axis run from 0 to 10. Shape T sits with one vertex at about (2,1), one more at (4,3), another at (5,3) and the last at (5,1).
(a(i))[2]

Translate shape T using the vector $\begin{pmatrix}-1\\6\end{pmatrix}$. Call the image A.

(a(ii))[2]

Rotate shape T through $180^{\circ}$ about the point $(5, 3)$. Name the image B.

(a(iii))[3]

Describe fully the single transformation that takes shape A onto shape B.

(b(i))[2]

Reflect shape T across the line $y = x$.

(b(ii))[2]

Find the matrix that represents the transformation from part b(i).
