Rotations in the Coordinate Plane

Question 6 • Pre-Algebra - MA3119 B-CR

Which rotation maps point K(8, –6) to K’(–6, –8)?

Answer
A
180° counterclockwise rotation
B
90° clockwise rotation
C
90° counterclockwise rotation
D
180° clockwise rotation

Explanation

A 90° clockwise rotation about the origin maps (x, y) to (y, −x). Applying this rule to K(8, −6) gives (−6, −8), which is K’. So the correct choice is a 90° clockwise rotation.
