Question

Rectangle MNPQ is rotated using the origin as the center of rotation, resulting in rectangle M’N’P’Q’, as shown below.

On a coordinate plane, rectangle M N P Q has points (negative 2, 6), (0, 4), (negative 3, 1), (negative 5, 3). Rectangle M prime N prime P prime Q prime has points (6, 2), (4, 0), (1, 3), (3, 5).

Which rotation may have occurred?
a 45° rotation clockwise
a 45° rotation counterclockwise
a 90° rotation clockwise
a 90° rotation counterclockwise

Answer 1

45° rotation clockwise

Explanation:

When you plot these on the graph, the non prime ones are on quadrant 2 and when you plot the prime ones, it is on quadrant 1. This means that it is 45° to the right(clockwise)
