Graph the quadrilateral WXYZ with vertices W(–4, –1), X(–6, 1), Y(–8, –1), and Z(–6, –3). Rotate the figure 90° counterclockwise
and graph the rotation.

<h2>Answer:</h2>
Option C
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>When you rotate a point you could rotate it in Clockwise direction because that's how the hand of a clock move, or rotate it in Counterclockwise direction that's the opposite rotation. In math, counterclockwise is defined as being a positive rotation while clockwise is defined as being a negative rotation. Rotating a whole shape means we're rotating every point in the shape.
On the coordinate plane, consider the point (x,y). To rotate this point by 90° around the origin in counterclockwise direction, you can always swap the x- and y-coordinates and then multiply the new x-coordinate by -1. In a mathematical language this is as follows:
By applying this rule to every point we have:
The figure below shows the original shape in green while the rotated shape is the one in red. As you can see, this figure matches the option C.

Recall that to get the x-intercepts, we set the f(x) = y = 0, thus
