Question

Given P(2,-5), what are the coordinates of r (90°, 0) (P)?

a) (-5,2)
b) (-2,5)
c) (5,2)
d) (2,5)

Answer 1

The coordinates of point P after rotating it 90° counterclockwise would be (-5,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of point P after rotating it 90° counterclockwise, we need to switch the x and y coordinates and change the sign of the new x coordinate. For point P(2,-5), after rotating it 90° counterclockwise, the new coordinates would be (-5, -2). Hence, the correct answer would indeed be a) (-5,2), indicating a switch in the coordinates with a sign change for the new x-coordinate, exemplifying the result of rotating a point counterclockwise by 90° and showcasing the transformation of coordinates following this geometric operation.
