Transcript text: Algebra II Part 1
A triangle ABC with vertices A (6, 8), B (6, 12), and C (10, 12) is rotated 90°.
What are the coordinates of B'?
Be sure to enclose coordinates in parentheses.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Original Coordinates
The original coordinates of point B are given as \( B(6, 12) \).
Step 2: Apply the 90° Rotation Transformation
To find the new coordinates \( B' \) after a 90° counterclockwise rotation around the origin, we use the transformation:
\[
B' = (-y, x)
\]
Substituting the coordinates of B:
\[
B' = (-12, 6)
\]
Final Answer
The coordinates of \( B' \) after the rotation are \\(\boxed{(-12, 6)}\\).
