given point A(2,4) on the triangle in quadrant 1, how could you describe the coordinates of the new point when the triaangle is rotated 90 degrees clockwise?

Answer 1

When the triangle is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the new coordinates of point A can be determined by swapping the x and y coordinates and negating the new x coordinate.

So, for point A(2,4):
- The new x coordinate will be 4 (the original y coordinate).
- The new y coordinate will be -2 (the negation of the original x coordinate).

Therefore, the new coordinates of point A after a 90 degree clockwise rotation would be A'(4, -2).
