I would suggest graphing it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That would be faster than making a rotation matrix
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Graph the two points
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think i might know the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If you want to do it the hard way take the position vectors of the two points and add them to see if the sum equals 0

If the sum equals zero then one is 180 degrees of the other one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got True as my answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the sum of these two vectors does not equal 0 so the answer would be false not true
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the vectors of both the points are -9i+3j and 3i+9j
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thank you

do you know how to add vectors?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok well the sum of the two points position vectors is not zero it is -6i + 12j
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The dot product of the vectors is also 0 so the angle between them is 90 degrees not 180
