Math Problem Statement

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 90° counterclockwise around the origin.

Solution

The image you uploaded shows a coordinate plane with a rectangle whose vertices are labeled DD, EE, FF, and GG. You are asked to determine the coordinates of these points after a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin.

Rotation Rule for 90° Counterclockwise:

For a point (x,y)(x, y), the coordinates after a 90° counterclockwise rotation around the origin become: (x,y)=(y,x)(x', y') = (-y, x)

Now, let’s apply this rule to each vertex:

  1. Point DD:

    • Original coordinates: (7,1)(-7, 1)
    • After rotation: (1,7)(-1, -7)
  2. Point EE:

    • Original coordinates: (7,6)(-7, 6)
    • After rotation: (6,7)(-6, -7)
  3. Point FF:

    • Original coordinates: (3,6)(-3, 6)
    • After rotation: (6,3)(-6, -3)
  4. Point GG:

    • Original coordinates: (3,1)(-3, 1)
    • After rotation: (1,3)(-1, -3)

Coordinates after 90° counterclockwise rotation:

  • D=(1,7)D' = (-1, -7)
  • E=(6,7)E' = (-6, -7)
  • F=(6,3)F' = (-6, -3)
  • G=(1,3)G' = (-1, -3)

Would you like further clarification or details on how this transformation works?

Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How would you rotate a point 180° about the origin?
  2. What changes when you rotate a point 90° clockwise instead of counterclockwise?
  3. How would the coordinates change if the rotation was 270° counterclockwise?
  4. Can you describe how to reflect a point across the y-axis?
  5. How would you perform a translation instead of a rotation for these points?

Tip: For geometric transformations, visualizing the grid and tracing points can help confirm your answers.
