Pentagon ABCDE is shown on the coordinate plane below. I just can't seem to get this one.
Pentagon ABCDE is shown on the coordinate plane below.
If pentagon ABCDE is rotated 180� around the origin to create pentagon A'B'C'D'E', what is the ordered pair of point A'? (2, -4) (-4, -2) (-2, -4) (4, 2) @rational
I picked 4,2 but it was wrong, I picked it because I thought that would make it 180 degrees
Take a look at diagram, wat are the coordinates of A ?
-2, 4
yes, if u rotate it 180 degrees : (x, y) -> (-x, -y)
so, (-2, 4) -> ??
-2, -4
try again
(-2, 4) -> (--2, -4)
which equals (2, -4)
u need to be careful and do it step by step okay ?
Mind Blows Up* Idk why I can't get this in my head =(
takes time, also u need to VISUALLY see in graph how the point is rotating
someday everything wil make sense dont wry lol ;P
Thanks :D
