Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a question about determining the rule for a geometric rotation. The triangle on the graph has its initial points labeled , , and , and its rotated version has the points labeled , , and .
By observing the grid:
- The figure has been rotated 90 degrees in a clockwise direction, as the points are rotated to a new position matching this rotation rule.
- For instance, has rotated to , and the same pattern follows for and .
The correct rule for this transformation is "Rotation 90 degrees clockwise", which matches option b in the multiple-choice list.
Would you like further details on how to determine the rotation, or do you have any other questions?
Here are some related questions:
- What is the formula for rotating a point 90 degrees clockwise?
- How would the coordinates change if the rotation were 180 degrees?
- What is the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation in terms of coordinate transformations?
- How do you rotate an object about a point that is not the origin?
- How can you use matrices to represent rotations?
Tip: To visualize rotations, remember that 90 degrees clockwise is equivalent to a quarter turn to the right!
