Given point A(2, 6)

Question

on the triangle, where would the new point on the triangle be after a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise

Answer 1

To rotate a point 90 degrees clockwise around the origin, you can use the following transformation formula:

If the point is \( (x, y) \), after a 90-degree clockwise rotation, the new coordinates will be \( (y, -x) \).

For point \( A(2, 6) \):

• \( x = 2 \)
• \( y = 6 \)

Applying the transformation:

\[ (x', y') = (y, -x) = (6, -2) \]

So, after a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise, point \( A(2, 6) \) will be at the new location \( (6, -2) \).
