Exercise 55 Page 391

Use a protractor.

D

Practice makes perfect
Let's plot the given point in a coordinate plane.

To rotate the point counterclockwise about the origin, we first have to draw a segment from the point to the origin. Using a protractor, we measure a 90^(∘) angle counterclockwise and then draw a second segment of the same length as the first. At the end of this segment we find the rotated point.

The rotated point has the coordinates (- 5,- 2), which corresponds to option D.
