Plot the situation

Answer 2

Answer:

90° counterclockwise rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

A 90° counterclockwise rotation maps every point (x, y) to (-y, x).

K(17, -12) is mapped to K'(12, 17).  The x- and y-coordinates are switched and the y-coordinate is negated (before being switched).  This means

(x,y)→(-y,x).

This is a 90° counterclockwise rotation.
