Question

If the figure below is rotated 90degrees clockwise about the origin, what is the new location? the options are:

A’ (0, 8), B’ (6, 0), C’ (0, -8), D’ (0, -6)A’ (-8, 0), B’ (0, 6), C’ (8, 0), D’ (0, -6)A’ (0, 8), B’ (6, 0), C’ (0, -8), D’ (-6, 0)A’ (0, -8), B’ (6, 0), C’ (0, 8), D’ (-6, 0)
​

Answer 1

A'(0, -8), B'(6, 0), C'(0, 8), D'(-6, 0)

Explanation:

Whenever you are doing a 90° clockwise rotation ABOUT THE ORIGIN, it is in the form of [y, -x], meaning you take the y and make it your x, then take your original x and put its OPPOSITE.

90° counterclockwise rotation → [-y, x]

90° clockwise rotation → [y, -x]
