To rotate a point about the origin counterclockwise by 270 degrees, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the point should be switched and the new x-coordinate should be negated.
Given the original point (0.5, 8), when we switch the x and y coordinates, it becomes (8, 0.5). Now, when we negate the new x-coordinate, it becomes (-8, 0.5).
Therefore, after rotating the point (0.5, 8) counterclockwise by 270 degrees about the origin, the new point is (-8, 0.5).
What is the new point when you rotate a geometric figure with 0.5, 8 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin
