3. Rotations
Sign In
A 90^(∘) rotation counterclockwise about the origin will change the coordinates of the vertices such that (a,b)→ (- b,a).
Let's start by looking at the given polygon.
When a figure is rotated 90^(∘) counterclockwise about the origin, the coordinates of the image's vertices will change in the following way.
| (a,b) | (- b,a) |
|---|---|
| J(3,0) | J'(0,3) |
| K(4,3) | K'(- 3,4) |
| L(6,0) | L'(0,6) |
Knowing the vertices of â–³ J'K'L', we can draw the image.
