Math Problem Statement

rotation 270° clockwise about the origin Z(−1, −5), K(−1, 0), C(1, 1),N(3, −2)

Solution

To rotate each point 270° clockwise (or equivalently, 90° counterclockwise) about the origin, we apply the rotation transformation rules for 90° counterclockwise:

(x,y)(y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x)

Let's apply this rule to each point:

  1. Point Z(1,5)Z(-1, -5):

    • Rotation: (y,x)((5),1)=(5,1)(-y, x) \Rightarrow (-(-5), -1) = (5, -1)
    • New coordinates: Z=(5,1)Z' = (5, -1)
  2. Point K(1,0)K(-1, 0):

    • Rotation: (y,x)(0,1)(-y, x) \Rightarrow (0, -1)
    • New coordinates: K=(0,1)K' = (0, -1)
  3. Point C(1,1)C(1, 1):

    • Rotation: (y,x)(1,1)(-y, x) \Rightarrow (-1, 1)
    • New coordinates: C=(1,1)C' = (-1, 1)
  4. Point N(3,2)N(3, -2):

    • Rotation: (y,x)(2,3)(-y, x) \Rightarrow (2, 3)
    • New coordinates: N=(2,3)N' = (2, 3)

Summary of Rotated Points:

  • Z=(5,1)Z' = (5, -1)
  • K=(0,1)K' = (0, -1)
  • C=(1,1)C' = (-1, 1)
  • N=(2,3)N' = (2, 3)

Would you like a visual representation or further explanation of the rotation process?

Here are some follow-up questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What would be the result of rotating the points by 90° clockwise?
  2. How would a 180° rotation affect the coordinates of each point?
  3. How would the coordinates change with a translation after the rotation?
  4. How is rotating about a point different from rotating about the origin?
  5. How can you generalize the rotation formula for any angle?

Tip: For rotations, remember that a 270° clockwise rotation is the same as a 90° counterclockwise rotation.
