Question

If parallelogram JKLM is rotated 270° clockwise around the origin, what are the coordinates of the endpoints of the side congruent to side KL in the image parallelogram?
A. K’(-4, -6); L’(3, -3)

B. K’(-6, -4); L’(-3, -3)

C. K’(6, 4); L’(3, 3)

D. K’(-4, 6); L’(-3, -3)

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is (B). K'(-6,-4) and L(-3,-3).

Step-by-step explanation:  In the figure, the parallelogram JKLM is drawn on a co-ordinate plane. Here, the co-ordinates of points K and L are (-4,6) and (-3,3) respectively.

Now, when we rotate the parallelogram about the origin through 270° , then we have to make a jump of three consecutive quadrants,.ie., presently we are in the fourth quadrant, so we will the resulting co-ordinates in  the third quadrant and so both x and y co-ordinates of the new points will be negative. Also, the x-co-ordinate and y-co-ordinates of both the points K and L will get reversed. Please see the attached figure.

Thus, the new co-ordinates of K and L are K'(-6,-4) and L(-3,-3).

Answer 2

The answer is B (-6,-4)(-3,-3) You're moving it 3 quadrants. When you turn it the K flips to the bottom left of L
