Given a point (-7,4) on a geometric figure, what is the new point after rotation the figure 90° counterclockwise?

1 answer

To rotate a point 90° counterclockwise, we can swap its x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.

Given point: (-7, 4)

Swapping the x and y coordinates: (4, -7)

Negating the new x coordinate: (-4, -7)

Therefore, the new point after rotating the figure 90° counterclockwise is (-4, -7).
