Question

rotate the point (-4, -6) on a geometric figure 90 degrees counterclockwise. What is the new point?
a (-6, 4)
b (6, 4)
c (6, -4)
d (-6, -4)

Answer 1

To rotate a point 90 degrees counterclockwise, you need to swap the x and y coordinates and negate the new y coordinate.

Given the point (-4, -6):

Swapping x and y: (-6, -4)
Negating the new y-coordinate: (-6, 4)

Therefore, the new point after the 90-degree counterclockwise rotation is option a) (-6, 4).
