Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem involves rotating the linear function counterclockwise, and we need to determine the possible equation of its transformed function .
Key Insight:
When a function is rotated counterclockwise around the origin by , the coordinates of the points on the graph are transformed into . In terms of equations, the slope of the line changes to , and the y-intercept may change based on the context.
The given function is . Its slope is . After a counterclockwise rotation:
- The new slope becomes .
- The transformation modifies the line, resulting in a new equation.
