Math Problem Statement

What is the image of the point left parenthesis, minus, 2, comma, 3, right parenthesis(−2,3) after a rotation of 90, degrees90 ∘ counterclockwise about the origin?

Solution

To rotate the point (2,3)(-2, 3) by 9090^\circ counterclockwise about the origin, we can apply the standard rotation transformation. The rule for rotating a point (x,y)(x, y) by 9090^\circ counterclockwise around the origin is:

(x,y)=(y,x)(x', y') = (-y, x)

Applying this rule to the point (2,3)(-2, 3):

(x,y)=(3,2)(x', y') = (-3, -2)

Thus, the image of the point (2,3)(-2, 3) after a 9090^\circ counterclockwise rotation about the origin is (3,2)(-3, -2).
