The plate is rotated 90° about the origin in the counterclockwise direction. In the rotated trapezoid, what are the coordinates of the endpoints of the side congruent to side FG? (7, −5) and (4, −3) (5, 7) and (3, 4) (−5, −7) and (−3, −4) (−5, −7) and (−8, −4)

Mercury:

same logic as last time point G is (-4,3) right apply the transformation (-y,x) to get the new location of G there's only one choice that includes the new coordinates of G

roserose:

I don't know

Mercury:

(-4,3) means x = - 4 and y = 3 right? then what is (-y, x) equal to?

roserose:

is going to be 4,-3

Mercury:

if y = 3 then -y = ?

roserose:

-3

Mercury:

good so (-y,x) = ? remember the -y comes first

roserose:

ok

Mercury:

so if the -y comes first then the first coordinate is -3, right? and the second coordinate is x, or -4 so (-3,-4) are the new coordinates of G which makes the only possible answer choice...?

roserose:
