Use the image to determine the direction and angle of rotation.
Graph of polygon ABCD in quadrant 1 with point A at 6 comma 12. A second polygon A prime B prime C prime D prime in quadrant 2 with point A prime at negative 12 comma 6.
270° clockwise rotation
270° counterclockwise rotation
90° clockwise rotation
180° clockwise rotation
1 answer
The direction of rotation is counterclockwise, since A is moving from quadrant 1 to quadrant 2. The angle of rotation is 90°, as point A is moving from (6,12) to (-12,6). Therefore, the correct answer is 90° counterclockwise rotation.
