Question

a line segment has endpoints 2,-1 and 5, -4 what are the new endpoints after rotatibg thr segment 90° clockwise

Answer 1

To rotate a line segment 90° clockwise, you can use the following formula:

New_x = y
New_y = -x

For the endpoints (2, -1) and (5, -4):
Endpoint 1:
New_x = -1
New_y = -2
New endpoints for endpoint 1: (-1, -2)

Endpoint 2:
New_x = -4
New_y = -5
New endpoints for endpoint 2: (-4, -5)

Therefore, the new endpoints after rotating the segment 90° clockwise are (-1, -2) and (-4, -5).
