Given polygon ABCD with coordinates A(-2,1), B(0,3), C(1,-4), and D(-1,-1), if polygon ABCD is rotated 90° counterclockwise about the origin, then the coordinates of point A' are

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

@Nnesha you know this?

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

Im not good at rotations :/

Nnesha (nnesha):

90-counterclockwise \[\huge\rm (x,y) \rightarrow (-y, x)\] remember this formula for 90 counterclock wise switch x and y and then change the sign of y

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

so A would be -2,-1

Nnesha (nnesha):

let's say X( 1,-4)\[(1,-4) \rightarrow (4 ,1)\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

C not X

Nnesha (nnesha):

looks good \o^_^o/

Nnesha (nnesha):

no no

Nnesha (nnesha):

try again remember first switch x and y

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

so 2,1

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

1,2*

Nnesha (nnesha):

here is an example \[\huge\rm ( \color{ReD}{5} , \color{blue}{9} ) \rightarrow ( \color{blue}{9},\color{ReD}{ 5}) \rightarrow (\color{blue}{-9},\color{red}{5})\] first i switched x and y 2nd) i multiplied by new coordinate with negative one (in other words i just changed the sign of new x-coordinate )

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

ok so its -1,2

Nnesha (nnesha):

(-2,1) first switch x and y

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

ok so 1,-2

Nnesha (nnesha):

right now change the sign of `new x-coordinate `

Nnesha (nnesha):

(1,-2) now x-coordinate is one

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

so then thats it or its more?

Nnesha (nnesha):

no that's it switch x and y and then change sign of new x-coordinate

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

ok thank you

Nnesha (nnesha):

so what would be the answer ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

(-2,1) ----- > (??? , ???)

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

i guess

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

Given polygon ABCD with coordinates A(-2,1), B(0,3), C(1,-4), and D(-1,-1), if polygon ABCD is rotated 90° counterclockwise about the origin, then the coordinates of point A' are

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

thats the question

Nnesha (nnesha):

guess ?? hmmm

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

I mean from what i gather when your switch them then change the signs you get the answer

Nnesha (nnesha):

oky so if A(-2,1) then after rotated 90 counterclockwise A'(??,???) ??

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

-1,2

Nnesha (nnesha):

lets do it otherway \[\rm (x,y) \] change sign of y-coordinate\[\rm (x,-y)\] now switch x and y \[\rm (-y,x)\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[(-2,1)\] try again :=))

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

1,-2

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[(-2,1)\] first change the sign of y-coordinate in other words ( multiply y-coordinate by negative one ) and then switch x and y

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

so its 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\rm B(0,3) \rightarrow ( 0 , -3) \rightarrow (-3,0)\] example i multiplied y-coordinate by negative one ( 0 ,-3) and then i switched x and y (-3,0)

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

-1,-2

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[(-2,1)\] multiply y-coordinate by negative one what would you get ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeyayayay!!

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

thank you

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

i have one more

OpenStudy (deerhunter15):

ill post it in another thing so i can give you another medal if you want to help

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm i'm not good at this i'll try not sure
