Rotations

Question 10 • Integrated Math I Semester 2 - LHS (2016)

What is the algebraic rule for a figure that is rotated 270° clockwise about the origin?

Answer
A
RO,–270°(x, y) → (–y, x)
B
RO,–270°(x, y) → (x, –y)
C
RO,270°(x, y) → (–x, –y)
D
RO,270°(x, y) → (–y, –x)

Explanation

A 270° clockwise rotation is equivalent to a 90° counterclockwise rotation. A 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin maps (x, y) to (−y, x), which matches choice A.
