Given a point on a geometric figure (1, 2)
, what is the new point when the point is rotated clockwise about the origin 90 degrees

Answer 1

To rotate a point \((x, y)\) clockwise by 90 degrees around the origin, you can use the following transformation:

\[ (x', y') = (y, -x) \]

In this case, the point given is \((1, 2)\). Applying the transformation:

• \(x' = y = 2\)
• \(y' = -x = -1\)

Therefore, the new point after rotating \((1, 2)\) clockwise 90 degrees about the origin is:

\[ (2, -1) \]
