Use the image to answer the question.Two rectangles are drawn on a coordinate plane. Rectangle A B C D is in quadrant 2. Rectangle A prime B prime C prime D prime is in quadrant 1. Identify the degree of rotation in both directions for the pictured rectangle, centered about the point (1,0). Recall that clockwise rotations are denoted with a negative degree. (1 point)The quadrilateral is rotated ° counterclockwise or ° clockwise.

To identify the degree of rotation for Rectangle A B C D to coincide with Rectangle A' B' C' D', centered about the point (1, 0), we need to look at their relative positions and orientations in the coordinate plane.

  1. Quadrant Location: Rectangle A B C D is in quadrant 2, while Rectangle A' B' C' D' is in quadrant 1. This indicates that they are opposite each other across the y-axis.

  2. Standard Positions:

    • In quadrant 2, the rectangle's vertices would typically have x-coordinates that are negative and positive y-coordinates.
    • In quadrant 1, the rectangle's vertices would have positive x and y coordinates.
  3. Rotation Analysis:

    • To rotate from quadrant 2 (where the rectangle is angled in a specific orientation) to quadrant 1, we would need to rotate the figure.
    • The transformation indicates a clockwise rotation since we are moving from quadrant 2 to quadrant 1.
  4. Degree of Rotation:

    • The rotation from the positive y-axis towards the positive x-axis can be measured as a 90-degree rotation.
    • Since it is moving clockwise, this would be noted as -90 degrees for clockwise rotation.

Therefore, the rectangle is rotated 90° counterclockwise or -90° clockwise.

Please provide any specific degrees if necessary, but typically it would be denoted as 90° counterclockwise or -90° clockwise.
