True or False When point E (-9, 3) is rotated 180° about the origin, its coordinate becomes (3, 9).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just gave u 3 ways to prove that its false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
