Question

Rotate the point (−4, −6) on a geometric figure 90 degrees counterclockwise. What is the new point?(1 point)


1.(6, 4)

2.(6, −4)

3.(−6, −4)

4.(−6, 4)

Answer 1

To rotate a point 90 degrees counterclockwise, we can switch the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.

Starting with the point (-4, -6):
Switching the x and y coordinates, we get (-6, -4).
Negating the new x coordinate, we get (6, -4).

So the new point is (6, -4).

The correct answer is 2. (6, -4)
