To rotate a point \((x, y)\) 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, you can use the following transformation:
\[ (x, y) \to (-y, x) \]
Let's apply this transformation to each vertex of triangle \(\triangle ABC\).
-
For point \(A = (5, -1)\): \[ A' = (-(-1), 5) = (1, 5) \]
-
For point \(B = (5, -9)\): \[ B' = (-(-9), 5) = (9, 5) \]
-
For point \(C = (2, -7)\): \[ C' = (-(-7), 2) = (7, 2) \]
So, the coordinates of the rotated points are:
- \(A' = (1, 5)\)
- \(B' = (9, 5)\)
- \(C' = (7, 2)\)
Thus, the coordinates of triangle \(\triangle A'B'C'\) are:
- \(A' = (1, 5)\)
- \(B' = (9, 5)\)
- \(C' = (7, 2)\)
