Question

I will give you brainliest! A point lies in quadrant 2. If it is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise, which quadrant will the point come to rest?
Explain 2 other ways other than rotating 180 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise, that would allow the point to find it’s way to the same place from its original position. Hint: You may combine transformations.

Answer 1

180 degree rotation negates both coordinates, and takes a point from quadrant 2 to quadrant 4.

Answer: 4

We can also rotate 180 degrees clockwise, or 540 degrees counterclockwise and end up in the same place.

Combining transformations, we can reflect in the x axis and then in the y axis, also negating both coordinates so equivalent to 180 degree rotation.
