Math Problem Statement

Translate points A(-2, 1), B(-3, 4), C(2, -5) 5 units left and 3 units up, and rotate 90° counterclockwise about the origin. What are the new coordinates?

Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step:

Points Given:

  • A(2,1)A(-2, 1)
  • B(3,4)B(-3, 4)
  • C(2,5)C(2, -5)

Step 1: Translate 5 units left and 3 units up

Translation rule:

  • Subtract 5 from the xx-coordinate (5 units left).
  • Add 3 to the yy-coordinate (3 units up).

New coordinates after translation:

  • For AA: (25,1+3)=(7,4)(-2 - 5, 1 + 3) = (-7, 4)
  • For BB: (35,4+3)=(8,7)(-3 - 5, 4 + 3) = (-8, 7)
  • For CC: (25,5+3)=(3,2)(2 - 5, -5 + 3) = (-3, -2)

So after translation:

  • A(7,4)A'(-7, 4)
  • B(8,7)B'(-8, 7)
  • C(3,2)C'(-3, -2)

Step 2: Rotate 90° counterclockwise about the origin

Rotation rule for 90° counterclockwise:

  • New x=yx' = -y
  • New y=xy' = x

New coordinates after rotation:

  • For A(7,4)A'(-7, 4):
    A(4,7)A''(-4, -7) (since x=4x' = -4, y=7y' = -7)

  • For B(8,7)B'(-8, 7):
    B(7,8)B''(-7, -8)

  • For C(3,2)C'(-3, -2):
    C(2,3)C''(2, -3)

Final Answer:

  • A(4,7)A''(-4, -7)
  • B(7,8)B''(-7, -8)
  • C(2,3)C''(2, -3)

  1. How do you perform a 180° rotation instead of 90°?
  2. What is the rule for rotating 90° clockwise?
  3. Can you describe how a dilation transformation would affect these points?
  4. How would a reflection over the x-axis change the final coordinates?
  5. What if the translation was 5 units right instead of left?

Tip: When rotating points around the origin, always check the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) carefully to apply the correct transformation rule.
