Questions: rotation 90° clockwise about the origin
Transcript text: rotation $90^{\circ}$ clockwise about the origin
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the vertices
The coordinates of the vertices of triangle TUV are:
T(-1, -1)
U(-2, 1)
V(-1, 1)
Step 2: Apply the rotation rule
To rotate a point 90° clockwise about the origin, the rule is (x, y) → (y, -x). Applying this rule to each vertex:
T(-1, -1) → (-1, 1) which we'll call T'
U(-2, 1) → (1, 2) which we'll call U'
V(-1, 1) → (1, 1) which we'll call V'
Step 3: State the new coordinates
The coordinates of the vertices after a 90° clockwise rotation are T'(-1, 1), U'(1, 2), and V'(1, 1).
