Math Problem Statement

(6,-6)(8,-6)(5,-7) Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 270° clockwise around the origin.

Solution

To perform a 270° clockwise rotation around the origin on a point (x,y)(x, y), we use the following rule:

(x,y)(y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)

Let's apply this to each of the given points:

  1. Point (6, -6):

    • After rotation: (6,6)(-6, -6)
  2. Point (8, -6):

    • After rotation: (6,8)(-6, -8)
  3. Point (5, -7):

    • After rotation: (7,5)(-7, -5)

So, the coordinates of the vertices after a 270° clockwise rotation around the origin are:

  • (6,6)(-6, -6)
  • (6,8)(-6, -8)
  • (7,5)(-7, -5)

Tip: When rotating points around the origin, always pay close attention to the direction of rotation (clockwise vs. counterclockwise) as it significantly impacts the outcome.
