Question

If the point A is located at (-5,-3) and A’ is the image of A after being rotated about the origin by 270 (counter clockwise). What are the coordinates of A’?

Answer 1

Answer:

D (-3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

270 counter clockwise is the same as 90 clockwise.

For a 90° clockwise or 270° counter clockwise, take the opposite of the x coordinate then switch the coordinates.

(-5, -3) -----> (5, -3) ------> (-3, 5)

You can also rotate your screen 90° clockwise to see the new coordinates for A.
