1. What is the image of the point (3, -2) after a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin?
(-2, -3)
(2, 3)
(-3, 2)
(3, 2)
2. A point P is rotated 180° counter-clockwise about the origin. If its image is P'(-5, 1), what were the coordinates of P?
(5, -1)
(-5, -1)
(5, 1)
(1, -5)
1. A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point called the .
2. Rotating a figure 270° counter-clockwise about the origin is equivalent to a rotation of 90° about the origin.
1. Triangle ABC has vertices A(1, 2), B(4, 2), and C(3, 5). Rotate triangle ABC 90° counter-clockwise about the origin. List the coordinates of the image A'B'C'.
2. Describe the rotation that maps point (6, -2) to (-6, 2).
3. Plot the point P(4, 1) on the coordinate plane below. Then, rotate P 90° clockwise about the origin and label its image P'.
1. A rotation changes the size of a figure.
True
False
2. Rotating a figure 360° about its center of rotation returns the figure to its original position.
True
False
