Question

Figure ABCD is a parallelogram with point C (−4, 1). Figure ABCD is rotated 90° clockwise to form figure A′B′C′D′. What coordinate would be the output for point C'?

Answer 1

There are certain rules to follow when rotating a point 90 deg clockwise. Since it is given that ABCD is a parallelogram and the coordinates of point C are given, we just have to follow this simple relation:

R(90 deg) : (X,Y) ---> (-Y,X)

Using the given coordinates:
R(90 deg) : (-4,1) ---> (-1,-4)

Therefore, Point C' will be located at (-1,-4)
