Look at the parallelogram PQRS drawn on the coordinate grid below.

Which coordinates best represents vertex Q’, the image of vertex Q after a rotation of 270° about the origin in the clockwise direction?

(-2, 2)

(-3, 2)

(2, 2)

(-2, 3)

270 degrees is 3/4 of a rotation.  since it starts in the 4th quadrant, that means it will end in the 1st quadrant if the rotation is clockwise if that helps

anonymous · Answer

can you help me figure out the actual answer tho?

anonymous · Answer

well only one of your answers is in the first quadrant, (2, 2)

anonymous · Answer

that makes sense. so that one?

anonymous · Answer

yeah i dont see how it can be any other one
