Solution
The image shows a transformation of the triangle ABC to A'B'C'. Let's determine the type of transformation that has occurred.
The original points are:
The transformed points are:
Let's analyze the transformation step-by-step:
Checking Rotation:
- Observe the movement of the points relative to the origin (0, 0).
- Notice that the orientation of the figure has changed in a way that indicates a rotation.
- Specifically, each point has been moved to a new location that is consistent with a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin.
To verify this, apply a 90° clockwise rotation formula:
-
The transformation for a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin is:
-
Applying this to each point:
- For :
- For :
- For :
The transformation is a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is:
"90° clockwise rotation about the origin".
