Math Problem Statement
Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 270° counterclockwise around the origin.
Solution
To solve this problem, let’s walk through how to find the new coordinates after rotating the given points 270° counterclockwise about the origin.
Key Concept: Rotation by 270° Counterclockwise
- A 270° counterclockwise rotation transforms a point to .
Now, let's extract the vertices from the graph shown in your image:
- Point R:
- Point S:
- Point T:
- Point U:
Rotation Calculation: 270° Counterclockwise
Using the transformation rule :
- R(-2, 3) →
- S(-4, 1) →
- T(-1, -1) →
- U(-3, -4) →
New Coordinates after 270° Counterclockwise Rotation
- R':
- S':
- T':
- U':
