What is (-4, -2) rotated 90 degrees clockwise

1 answer

To rotate the point (-4, -2) 90 degrees clockwise, you can use the following transformation for a point (x, y):

  1. The new x-coordinate becomes \(y\).
  2. The new y-coordinate becomes \(-x\).

For the point (-4, -2):

  • The new x-coordinate is \(-2\) (which was the original y-coordinate).
  • The new y-coordinate is \(4\) (which is \(-(-4)\), the negative of the original x-coordinate).

So, after rotating the point (-4, -2) 90 degrees clockwise, the new coordinates will be \((-2, 4)\).
