Math Problem Statement
Solution
To rotate the triangle counterclockwise by 270° around the origin, we apply the following transformation to each of the points , , and :
- The rule for a 270° counterclockwise rotation about the origin is .
Let's identify the coordinates of points , , and from the graph, apply the transformation, and find the new positions.
-
Identify the coordinates:
- seems to be at .
- seems to be at .
- seems to be at .
-
Apply the 270° rotation rule :
- For , the new coordinates will be .
- For , the new coordinates will be .
- For , the new coordinates will be .
So, the rotated triangle will have the following coordinates:
- ,
- ,
- .
