A line segment has endpoints (2, -1) and (5, -4) what are the new endpoints after rotating the segment 90 degrees clockwise

Question

(-2, 1) and (-5, 4)
(-2, -1) and (-5, -4)
(2, -1) and (4, 5)
(-1,-2) and (-4, -5)

Answer 1

To rotate the line segment 90 degrees clockwise, we swap the x and y coordinates of the endpoints and negate the new y coordinates.

The first endpoint (2, -1) becomes (-1, 2), and the second endpoint (5, -4) becomes (-4, 5).

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