Match the point to the point that is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. (-5, -3)

1 answer

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

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

For the point \((-5, -3)\):

  1. The original coordinates are \(x = -5\) and \(y = -3\).
  2. Applying the formula:
    • The new x-coordinate will be \(y = -3\).
    • The new y-coordinate will be \(-x = -(-5) = 5\).

Thus, after rotating \((-5, -3)\) 90 degrees clockwise, the new point is \((-3, 5)\).
