To rotate a point counterclockwise 90 degrees on a coordinate plane, we switch the x- and y-coordinates and negate the new x-coordinate.
Given that the original point is (-4, -6), when we switch the x- and y-coordinates, we get (-6, -4). Then, we negate the new x-coordinate to get (-6, 4).
Therefore, the new point after rotating (-4, -6) 90 degrees counterclockwise is option 2: (-6, 4).
Rotate the point (-4, -6) on a geometric figure 90 degrees counterclockwise. What is the new point?
1. (-6, -4)
2. (-6, 4)
3. (6, 4)
4. (6, -4)
