Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to perform a 90-degree rotation on point with coordinates .
90-Degree Rotation Rules
For a 90-degree rotation:
- Counterclockwise Rotation (which is generally the default in math unless stated otherwise):
- The new coordinates of a point are .
- Clockwise Rotation:
- The new coordinates of a point are .
Let's assume the problem requires a counterclockwise rotation (which is the typical convention for positive angles):
- Starting with :
- Apply the rule: .
- Substitute the coordinates: .
Thus, the new coordinates of point after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation are .
The correct answer is:

- Can you explain the general formula for rotating a point about any arbitrary point?
Tip: Remember, rotating points 90 degrees counterclockwise swaps the coordinates and changes the sign of the new x-coordinate.
