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 GG' after rotating the point G(2,5)G(-2, -5) counterclockwise by 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360°, we use the following rules for rotation about the origin:

  1. 90° Rotation (Counterclockwise):

    • Formula: (x,y)(x, y)(y,x)(-y, x)
    • For G(2,5)G(-2, -5):
      G=((5),2)=(5,2)G' = (-(-5), -2) = (5, -2)
  2. 180° Rotation (Counterclockwise):

    • Formula: (x,y)(x, y)(x,y)(-x, -y)
    • For G(2,5)G(-2, -5):
      G=((2),(5))=(2,5)G' = (-(-2), -(-5)) = (2, 5)
  3. 270° Rotation (Counterclockwise):

    • Formula: (x,y)(x, y)(y,x)(y, -x)
    • For G(2,5)G(-2, -5):
      G=(5,2)G' = (-5, 2)
  4. 360° Rotation (Counterclockwise):

    • Formula: (x,y)(x, y)(x,y)(x, y) (No change in position)
    • For G(2,5)G(-2, -5):
      G=(2,5)G' = (-2, -5)

Summary of results:

  • After 90° rotation: G(5,2)G'(5, -2)
  • After 180° rotation: G(2,5)G'(2, 5)
  • After 270° rotation: G(5,2)G'(-5, 2)
  • After 360° rotation: G(2,5)G'(-2, -5)

Would you like a detailed explanation of how each transformation is derived, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this information:

  1. What is the effect of rotating a point 90° clockwise around the origin?
  2. How would you reflect the point G(2,5)G(-2, -5) across the x-axis?
  3. What are the coordinates of point G(2,5)G(-2, -5) after a reflection over the y-axis?
  4. How does a 180° rotation differ from a reflection across the origin?
  5. 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.
