Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle P is mapped onto Q so P is the initial triangle that will transformed.
We can rotate counterclockwise 90° but we cannot do it about the origin (0,0) because the red point (5, 1) will end up at ( -1, 5) .
We see that the point (5, 1) ends up at ( -2, 4) so the center of rotation is lower than the origin.
The transformation is rotation of 90° about the point (0,-1)
Answer:
BC = 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points:
<u>Plot the points</u> on the coordinate plane (x, y) and connect them in alphabetical order with straight lines (see attached).
From visual inspection of the <u>drawn polygon</u>, we can see that the length of BC is 3 units.
It is fairly simple to calculate the length of BC without plotting the points.
As points B and C have the same x-value, this means that the distance between them is simply the difference between their y-values.
⇒ distance = |-4 - (-1)| = |-3| = 3 units
