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)

Hello! A way we could solve this equation is to divide 714 by three and then multiply the quotient by 2 to get the number of men that attended. 714/3 is 238. There were 238 women that attended the concert. 238 * 2 is 476. 476 + 238 = 714. There. There were 476 men that attended the concert.

The function h(t) = −16t2 + 18t models the height, in feet, reached by a leopard t seconds after it jumps. What is the approxima

Answer:

5 1/16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t(t -18/16) . . . . put in intercept form

The function describes a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at t=0 and t=9/8. The maximum height will be found at the vertex of the parabola, halfway between these zeros.

f(9/16) = (-16)(9/16)² +18(9/16) = 81/16 = 5 1/16 . . . . feet

The approximate maximum height of the leopard is 5 1/16 feet.
