Graph the image of U(7,9) after a rotation 90° counterclockwise around the origin.

1 answer

To find the image of the point \( U(7, 9) \) after a rotation of 90° counterclockwise around the origin, you can use the following transformation for coordinates when rotating counterclockwise:

\[ (x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x) \]

Here, \( (x, y) \) are the original coordinates of the point.

For the point \( U(7, 9) \):

  1. \( x = 7 \)
  2. \( y = 9 \)

Applying the transformation for a 90° counterclockwise rotation, we get:

\[ (7, 9) \rightarrow (-9, 7) \]

Therefore, the image of the point \( U(7, 9) \) after a 90° counterclockwise rotation around the origin is \( U'(-9, 7) \).

To graph the rotation:

  1. Start with the point \( U(7, 9) \).
  2. Plot the new point \( U'(-9, 7) \) on the coordinate plane.

This will give you a visual representation of the rotation.
