Question

Please get help with us for I am confused as to have should draw the rotation after a 90° clockwise rotation

Answer 1

In the given figure we can observe a triangle with vertices located at:

(-3,-2)

(-5,-4)

(1,-5).

We need to draw it after a 90° clockwise rotation.

We can apply the rule for 90° clockwise rotation, which is:

Each point of the given figure has to be changed from (x, y) to (y, -x) and then we need to graph the new coordinates.

By applying the rule to the given coordinates we obtain:

`\begin{gathered} (x,y)\to(y,-x) \\ (-3,-2)\to(-2,3) \\ (-5,-4)\to(-4,5) \\ (1,-5)\to(-5,-1) \end{gathered}`

Now we have to draw the new coordinates:
