Math Problem Statement
onsider the ordered pair G(-2,-5). Determine the ordered pair for G' after a rotation of each of the following counterclockwise rotations:
90 180 270 360
Solution
To determine the coordinates of point after rotating the point counterclockwise by 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360°, we use the following rules for rotation about the origin:
-
90° Rotation (Counterclockwise):
- Formula: →
- For :
-
180° Rotation (Counterclockwise):
- Formula: →
- For :
-
270° Rotation (Counterclockwise):
- Formula: →
- For :
-
360° Rotation (Counterclockwise):
- Formula: → (No change in position)
- For :
Summary of results:
- After 90° rotation:
- After 180° rotation:
- After 270° rotation:
- After 360° rotation:

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this information:
- What is the effect of rotating a point 90° clockwise around the origin?
- How would you reflect the point across the x-axis?
- What are the coordinates of point after a reflection over the y-axis?
- How does a 180° rotation differ from a reflection across the origin?
- How would you determine the coordinates after rotating around a point other than the origin?
Tip: When rotating points around the origin, always keep in mind the rules for how x and y coordinates switch places and change signs for each specific angle of rotation.
