Math Problem Statement
Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 90° clockwise around the origin.
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to perform a 90-degree clockwise rotation of the vertices , , and around the origin.
The formula to rotate a point 90 degrees clockwise around the origin is:
Now let's apply this to each vertex:
Coordinates Before Rotation:

- C:
- D:
Apply the Rotation:
-
For (-6, -6): So, .
-
For (-8, -2): So, .
-
For (-2, -8): So, .

- How do you rotate points 90° counterclockwise instead of clockwise?
- How would the coordinates change after a 180° rotation?
- What is the effect of a reflection across the y-axis on the coordinates of the vertices?
- How would the transformation differ if rotating around a different point rather than the origin?
- How can you find the center of rotation if it’s not the origin?
Tip: When rotating clockwise, always switch the x and y coordinates and negate the original x-coordinate.
