Question

triangle PQR the following vertices: P(3, 1), Q(1, 4) , and R(2, - 5) . Triangle P’Q’R’ the following vertices: P’=(1,-3), Q’=(4,-1), R’=(-5-2).What is true about triangles PQR and P’Q’R?

Answer 1

90 degrees clockwise rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation from P to P': (3, 1) to (1, -3)

Q to Q': (1, 4) to (4, -1)

R to R': (2, -5) to (-5, -2)

From the above, the original shape was transformed by interchanging the x and y coordinates as well as negating the previous x coordinate

This denoted as:

(x, y) to (y, -x)

This transformation is known as rotation of 90 degrees clockwise.

Hence, what is true about triangles PQR and P'Q'R' is a transformation of 90 degrees clockwise rotation
