1. Which of the following describes a 90-degree clockwise rotation about the origin?
(x, y) → (-x, y)
(x, y) → (y, -x)
(x, y) → (-y, x)
(x, y) → (-x, -y)
2. A point P(3, -2) is rotated 180 degrees about the origin. What are the coordinates of P'?
(-3, 2)
(3, 2)
(-2, -3)
(2, 3)
3. A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point called the .
4. A 270-degree counter-clockwise rotation about the origin is equivalent to a rotation clockwise about the origin.
5. Plot the triangle with vertices A(1, 1), B(4, 1), and C(1, 5) on the coordinate plane below. Then, rotate the triangle 90 degrees counter-clockwise about the origin and label the new vertices A', B', and C'.
Write the coordinates of the rotated vertices:
A' =
B' =
C' =
