Question

Here are some pointsWhat are the coordinates of A, B, and C after a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise around theorigin?

Answer 1

ANSWER

$\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}(5,6) \\ B^{\prime}(2,-3) \\ C^{\prime}(-1,0) \end{gathered}$

EXPLANATION

When a point is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, it changes as follows:

$(x,y)\to(y,-x)$

The points A, B, and C have the coordinates:

$\begin{gathered} A(-6,5) \\ B(3,2) \\ C(0,-1) \end{gathered}$

After the rotation, they become:

$\begin{gathered} A(-6,5)\to A^{\prime}(5,6) \\ B(3,2)\to B^{\prime}(2,-3) \\ C(0,-1)\to C^{\prime}(-1,0) \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.
