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 AA'', the final position of point AA after the transformations, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Rotate AA by 9090^\circ counterclockwise about the origin.

    Given point A(3,3)A(-3, -3), when we rotate any point (x,y)(x, y) by 9090^\circ counterclockwise about the origin, the new coordinates (x,y)(x', y') become: (x,y)=(y,x)(x', y') = (-y, x)

    Applying this to point A(3,3)A(-3, -3): A=((3),3)=(3,3)A' = (-(-3), -3) = (3, -3)

  2. Translate AA' by the vector 6,3\langle -6, -3 \rangle.

    To translate a point by a vector, we add the vector components to the coordinates of the point. For A(3,3)A'(3, -3) and the translation vector 6,3\langle -6, -3 \rangle: A=(3+(6),3+(3))=(3,6)A'' = (3 + (-6), -3 + (-3)) = (-3, -6)

Final Answer:

The coordinates of AA'' are (3,6)(-3, -6).

Here are five related questions that build on this solution:

  1. What are the coordinates of BB'' after applying the same transformations?
  2. What are the coordinates of CC'' after the same transformations?
  3. How would the process differ if the rotation were 180180^\circ instead of 9090^\circ?
  4. How can we determine the overall effect of a rotation followed by a translation on any point in the plane?
  5. 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.
