Math Assignment (Matrices and Coordinate Geometry (ST Martins)

This document provides 6 mathematics problems involving coordinate geometry, matrices, transformations, and determinants from past CSEC (Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate) exams: 1. Determine the gradient, midpoint, and equation of the perpendicular bisector for a line segment with two given points. 2. Find the gradient, equation, midpoint, and length of a line passing through two given points. 3. Find the coordinates, gradient, and equation of a line passing through two given points. 4. Determine the inverse of a matrix and use a transformation to find values of a and b that map two points onto other points. 5. Perform matrix multiplication and use a system of equations to find values
