To rotate the point M(0, 4) by 270° counterclockwise around the origin, you can use the rotation formulas for counterclockwise rotation. Specifically, the rotation of a point (x, y) by 270° counterclockwise can be accomplished using the following transformation:
\[ (x', y') = (y, -x) \]
Here, M is represented by the coordinates (0, 4). Plugging these values into the formula gives:
-
Identify the coordinates:
- x = 0
- y = 4
-
Apply the rotation formula:
- x' = y = 4
- y' = -x = -0 = 0
Thus, the image of M(0, 4) after a 270° counterclockwise rotation around the origin is:
M' (4, 0).
