Given point A (2, 4) on the triangle is quadrant I how would you describe the coordinates of the new point when the triangle is rotated 90° clockwise

Answer 1

To rotate a point 90° clockwise, we need to switch the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.

In this case, point A (2, 4) lies in quadrant I, which means both the x and y coordinates are positive.
To rotate it 90° clockwise, we switch the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate:

New x coordinate = -4
New y coordinate = 2

Therefore, the coordinates of the new point after rotating the triangle 90° clockwise would be (-4, 2).
