Samantha drew 2 transformations of the line y=-1/2x. She labelled them G and H. Is it true that Samantha could have created line G by rotating the line y=-1/2x counter-clockwise 54 degrees around the origin (0,0)

No, it is not true that Samantha could have created line G by rotating the line y=-1/2x counter-clockwise 54 degrees around the origin (0,0).

The line y=-1/2x has a slope of -1/2, which means that it makes an angle of approximately -26.57 degrees with the positive x-axis.

If you rotate this line counter-clockwise by 54 degrees, the new line will make an angle of approximately 27.43 degrees with the positive x-axis.

This new line will have a different slope than the original line y=-1/2x. Therefore, it is not possible to create line G by rotating the line y=-1/2x counter-clockwise 54 degrees around the origin.
