Question

Given point A(2,6) on the triangle, where would the new point on the triangle be after a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise?

Answer 1

To find the new point after a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise, we first need to determine the center of rotation. Since the problem does not provide this information, let's assume the origin (0,0) as the center of rotation.

To rotate a point (x,y) 90 degrees clockwise around the origin, we can use the following formulas:
x' = y
y' = -x

Using these formulas, let's find the new coordinates for point A(2,6):
x' = 6
y' = -2

Therefore, the new point after a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise from A(2,6) is (6, -2).
