What is the image of point (4, 5) after a counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin?

1 answer:

3 0

A counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin is equivalent to a clockwise rotation of 90º about the origin.

Given a point (4, 5), the x-value, i.e. 4 and the y-value, i.e. 5 are positive, hence the point is in the 1st quadrant of the xy-plane.

A clockwise rotation of 90º about the origin of a point in the first quadrant of the xy-plane will have its image in the fourth quadrant of the xy-plane. Thus the x-value of the image remains positive but the y-value of the image changes to negative.
Also the x-value and the y-value of the original figure is interchanged.
For example, given a point (a, b) in the first quadrant of the xy-plane, a counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin which is equivalent to a clockwise rotation of 90º about the origin will result in an image with the coordinate of (b, -a)

Therefore, a counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin of the point (4, 5) will result in an image with the coordinate of (5, -4) (option C)

4) converse of alternate exterior angle theorem

note: you can swap the answers for 2 and 3 and it doesn't matter

========================================================

Explanations:

1) This is given so we just simply state "given". It seems silly to repeat what is given, but this is how you start any geometry proof.

2 & 3) The answers here are angle 2 and angle 3 because they are both interior angles (on the inside of the parallel lines m and L) and they are on alternate sides of the transversal line q. So they are both alternate interior angles and are congruent due to line L parallel to line m (alternate interior angle theorem)

4) If you have a pair of parallel lines, then the alternate exterior angle theorem says that alternate exterior angles are congruent. Going in reverse, the converse of this theorem says that having a pair of congruent alternate exterior angles (angle 1, angle 2) leads to the lines being parallel (p and q).
