Math Problem Statement

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 180° counterclockwise around the origin.

Solution

The problem asks for the coordinates of the vertices after a 180° counterclockwise rotation around the origin. Here's how to solve it:

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Rule for 180° Counterclockwise Rotation: When you rotate a point (x,y)(x, y) by 180° counterclockwise around the origin, the new coordinates will be (x,y)(-x, -y). This is because a 180° rotation flips both the x- and y-coordinates.

  2. Identify the coordinates of the original vertices (from the graph):

    • R=(9,8)R = (9, 8)
    • S=(12,8)S = (12, 8)
    • T=(12,4)T = (12, 4)
    • Q=(9,4)Q = (9, 4)
  3. Apply the rotation rule:

    • For R(9,8)R(9, 8), the new coordinates will be (9,8)(-9, -8).
    • For S(12,8)S(12, 8), the new coordinates will be (12,8)(-12, -8).
    • For T(12,4)T(12, 4), the new coordinates will be (12,4)(-12, -4).
    • For Q(9,4)Q(9, 4), the new coordinates will be (9,4)(-9, -4).

Final coordinates after rotation:

  • R=(9,8)R' = (-9, -8)
  • S=(12,8)S' = (-12, -8)
  • T=(12,4)T' = (-12, -4)
  • Q=(9,4)Q' = (-9, -4)

Let me know if you'd like further explanation or have any questions!

Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. What would the coordinates be after a 90° counterclockwise rotation?
  2. How would the graph look after a 270° clockwise rotation?
  3. What is the general rule for rotating points by 180° clockwise?
  4. How does the distance between points change after a 180° rotation?
  5. What are the transformations involved in a reflection over the origin?

Tip: When performing a rotation, always pay attention to the center of rotation (origin or any other point) and the angle (90°, 180°, etc.) to apply the correct transformation.
