To find the coordinates of point A' after a counterclockwise rotation of 270° about the origin, we can use the rotation transformation formulas.
The general formula for a point \( (x, y) \) rotated about the origin by an angle \( \theta \) is given by: \[ (x', y') = (x \cos(\theta) - y \sin(\theta), x \sin(\theta) + y \cos(\theta)) \]
For a 270° rotation counterclockwise, \( \theta = 270° \). We can convert degrees to radians since many trigonometric functions use radians. The equivalent angle in radians is: \[ \theta = 270° = \frac{3\pi}{2} \text{ radians} \]
Now, we calculate the cosine and sine of 270°: \[ \cos(270°) = 0 \] \[ \sin(270°) = -1 \]
So the transformation equations for a 270° rotation are: \[ (x', y') = (x \cdot 0 - y \cdot (-1), x \cdot (-1) + y \cdot 0) \] This simplifies to: \[ (x', y') = (y, -x) \]
To find the coordinates of \( A' \), we need the original coordinates of point A. If you provide the coordinates of point A (let's say \( A(x, y) \)), we can substitute those values into the equations and compute \( A' \).
For example, if the coordinates of A are (2, 3): \[ A' = (3, -2) \]
Please provide the coordinates of point A for a specific answer!
