Question 5 • (A. Costello)WCA 5324 Geometry 1st Nine Weeks 26-27

Quadrilateral ABCD is transformed according to the rule (x, y) → (y, –x). Which is another way to state the transformation?

Answer
A
R0, 90°
B
R0, 180°
C
R0, 270°
D
R0, 360°

Explanation

A rotation about the origin sends (x, y) to (y, −x) when it turns points 90° clockwise. A clockwise 90° turn is the same as a counterclockwise 270° turn, so the transformation is R₀, 270° (choice C).
