Question

After a rotation of 90° about the origin, the coordinates of the vertices of the image of a triangle are A'(6,3), B'(-2, 1)
and C'(1,7). What are the coordinates of the vertices of the pre-image?
С.

Answer 1

Answer:

• A(3, -6)
• B(1, 2)
• C(7, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation by -90° about the origin is the transformation ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)

So, your pre-image points are ...

  A'(6, 3) ⇒ A(3, -6)

  B'(-2, 1) ⇒ B(1, 2)

  C'(1, 7) ⇒ C(7, -1)
