Well, it is a square so the points will be the same.

anonymous · Answer

Meaning the coordinates will be the same also?

@student92 ?

anonymous · Answer

yes.

anonymous · Answer

Look at the center of the square. No imagine to rotate it 90 degrees. They will still have the same point but now line BA will be on the top, and CD will be on the bottom.

anonymous · Answer

Hence. A(-7,7) B(-3,7) etc.

Rotate 90 degrees?

anonymous · Answer

Yes.. clockwise

anonymous · Answer

Same thing. The center is at y=4
Initially it is going right and left by 2 from the center, now it is going down and up by 2.
Initially it is going down and up by 4 from the center, now it is going right and left by 4.

After rotation also, it stays there. center doesnt change if we rotate the object

So B would be (-8,5)
