To determine the new positions of the vertices P and R after the rotation that moves Q to Q', we can analyze the transformation in terms of rotation.

Given:

  • Original point Q: \((-4, -9)\)
  • Rotated point Q': \((-9, 4)\)

Let's first find the angle of rotation. The transformation appears to be a 90-degree rotation counter-clockwise around the origin (0, 0), since:

  • The vector from the origin to Q is \((-4, -9)\).
  • A 90-degree counter-clockwise rotation of Q \((-4, -9)\) to \((-9, 4)\) can be seen as swapping the coordinates and changing the sign of the new x-coordinate.

Now, let's apply the same rotation to the other points P and R.

  1. For point P: \((-4, 0)\)

    • After a 90-degree counter-clockwise rotation, the transformation is as follows: \[ P' = (x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x) \] Thus, \[ P' = (0, -4) \]
  2. For point R: \((4, -4)\)

    • Also using the same transformation, \[ R' = (x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x) \] Therefore, \[ R' = (4, -4) \rightarrow (4, 4) \]

Putting it all together, we have:

  • \(P' = (0, -4)\)
  • \(R' = (-4, 4)\)

Thus, the correct response is: P′(0,−4) and R′(−4,4).
