Math Problem Statement
The coordinates of △ABC△ABC are A(−3,−3)A(−3,−3), B(−2,−1)B(−2,−1), and C(−1,−6)C(−1,−6). △ABC△ABC is rotated 90°90° counterclockwise about the origin and then translated by the translation vector ⟨−6,−3⟩⟨−6,−3⟩.
a) What are the coordinates of A′′A′′?
Solution
To find the coordinates of , the final position of point after the transformations, we need to follow these steps:
-
Rotate by counterclockwise about the origin.
Given point , when we rotate any point by counterclockwise about the origin, the new coordinates become:
Applying this to point :
-
Translate by the vector .
To translate a point by a vector, we add the vector components to the coordinates of the point. For and the translation vector :
Final Answer:
The coordinates of are .

- How can we determine the overall effect of a rotation followed by a translation on any point in the plane?
- What transformation matrix could represent the combined rotation and translation?
Tip: When rotating points around the origin, use the general rotation formulas for clarity and avoid errors with negative coordinates.
