Math Problem Statement

Determine the coordinates for C' after a 90 degree rotation counterclockwise. The coordinates for C' are (0,-3). The coordinates for the original point, C, are (0,3)

Solution

To determine if the provided coordinates for CC' are correct after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation, let's analyze the original point CC and perform the rotation.

Original Point

The original coordinates for point CC are given as (0,3)(0, 3).

90-Degree Counterclockwise Rotation

For a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation around the origin, the transformation rules for the coordinates are:

  • If the original point is (x,y)(x, y), the new point (x,y)(x', y') after the rotation will be (y,x)(-y, x).

Applying these rules to point CC:

  • Original coordinates of CC: (0,3)(0, 3)
  • Rotated coordinates for CC': (3,0)(-3, 0)

Given Answer Analysis

The given coordinates for CC' are (0,3)(0, -3).

Conclusion

There is an error in the given answer. After a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation, the coordinates for CC' should be (3,0)(-3, 0) and not (0,3)(0, -3).
