Math Problem Statement

(4,3) rotated clockwise 270

Solution

To rotate the point (4,3)(4, 3) clockwise by 270270^\circ, you can follow these steps:

  1. A 270270^\circ clockwise rotation is equivalent to a 9090^\circ counterclockwise rotation.
  2. The rule for a 9090^\circ counterclockwise rotation of a point (x,y)(x, y) is:
    (x,y)(y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x).
  3. Applying this to (4,3)(4, 3):
    (4,3)(3,4)(4, 3) \rightarrow (-3, 4).

Thus, the new coordinates after the rotation are (3,4)(-3, 4).

Would you like more details or have any questions about the process?

Here are five related questions to expand on this:

  1. How do you rotate points by other angles like 180180^\circ?
  2. What is the rule for rotating points counterclockwise by 270270^\circ?
  3. How do you apply rotation transformations using matrices?
  4. What happens when you rotate the same point multiple times?
  5. How would you graphically verify this rotation on a coordinate plane?

Tip: When rotating points, always remember the signs of the coordinates will change depending on the direction and angle of rotation.
