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) 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, we can use the following formula:

New x-coordinate = y
New y-coordinate = -x

Applying this formula to the given point (1, 2):

New x-coordinate = 2
New y-coordinate = -1

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