Given point A(2,4) on the triangle Quadrant I, where is the new point if the triangle is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise?

Question

A. (-4,-2)
B. (-4,2)
C. (4,-2)
D. (-2,-4)

Answer 1

To rotate a point 270 degrees counterclockwise, we can swap the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.

For point A(2,4), swapping the coordinates gives us (4,2). Negating the new x coordinate gives us (-4,2).

Thus, the new point after rotating 270 degrees counterclockwise is B. (-4,2).
