Question

Rotation by 360 degrees about the origin maps P(x, y) to P’(-x, -y)
true or false​

Answer 1

We know that when a figure or point is rotated by 360° about the origin, it would return the figure or point to its original position.

Therefore, the statement that ''rotation by 360 degrees about the origin maps P(x, y) to P’(-x, -y)'' is FALSE.

Explanation:

We know that when a figure or point is rotated by 360° about the origin, it would return the figure or point to its original position.

For example, if a point P(x, y) is rotated by 360° about the origin, it would return point P(x, y) to its original position.

i.e.

(x, y) → (x, y)

Therefore, the statement that ''rotation by 360 degrees about the origin maps P(x, y) to P’(-x, -y)'' is FALSE.
