Question 11 of 33

Suppose a figure is located in Quadrant I. Which of the following sequences
will result in an image that is located in Quadrant II?
A. rotate 270 degrees counterclockwise, then shift 1 unit down
B. rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise, then shift 1 unit down
O
C. rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise, then shift 1 unit up
D. rotate 360 degrees counterclockwise, then shift 1 unit up
SUBMIT

Answer 1

C) Rotate 90° counterclockwise, then shift one unit up.

Explanation:

I attached my work below. As you can see, shifting counterclockwise 90° will move you from quadrant I to quadrant II. If you needed to move clockwise, you would need to shift 270° clockwise to move from quadrant I to quadrant II. As for units, normally shifting up is better if you want to ensure you're in quadrant I or II. Shifting down is best if you want to be in quadrant III or IV. Since this is theoretical, that is a good rule of thumb.
