Math Problem Statement
Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 90° counterclockwise around the origin.
the coords are J (-8, 3) k (-8, 9) L (-2, 0)
Solution
To rotate a point 90° counterclockwise around the origin, you can apply the following rule to each point's coordinates:
Now, let's apply this rule to each vertex:
-
J (-8, 3): The new coordinates for are .
-
K (-8, 9): The new coordinates for are .
-
L (-2, 0): The new coordinates for are .
Thus, the new coordinates of the vertices after a 90° counterclockwise rotation are:
Would you like further details on this rotation process, or have any questions?
Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
- How would the coordinates change for a 180° rotation around the origin?
- What is the general rule for rotating a point by 270° counterclockwise?
- How would the shape look if we reflected it over the x-axis instead of rotating it?
- Can you generalize a rule for rotating points by any angle counterclockwise?
- How does rotating around a point other than the origin affect the transformation?
Tip: When rotating points, always think of the axis as a reference. A 90° counterclockwise rotation means the x-coordinate becomes the negative of the y-coordinate, and the y-coordinate becomes the original x-coordinate.
