Math Problem Statement
Solution
The task involves rotating the triangle defined by the points , , and 90° counterclockwise around the origin.
The coordinates of the original points are:
The formula to rotate a point 90° counterclockwise around the origin is:
Now let's apply this transformation to each point:
-
For point : So the new coordinates of are .
-
For point : So the new coordinates of are .
-
For point : So the new coordinates of are .
Final coordinates after the rotation:

- How would the coordinates change after a 90° clockwise rotation?
- What is the general formula for rotating any point by an arbitrary angle around the origin?
- How do reflections across the x-axis or y-axis affect point coordinates?
- What transformations leave a shape unchanged (identity transformations)?
Tip: When performing rotations, always verify if the rotation direction is clockwise or counterclockwise, as it affects the transformation rules.
