Answer:
The image of the point is (1, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
- If the point (x, y) rotated about the origin by angle 90° counterclockwise, then its image is (-y, x)
- If the point (x, y) rotated about the origin by angle 180° counterclockwise, then its image is (-x, -y)
- If the point (x, y) rotated about the origin by angle 270° counterclockwise, then its image is (y, -x)
Let us use the rules above to solve the question
∵ The point (-1, -2) is rotated 180° counterclockwise about the origin
→ By using the 2nd rule above change the signs of x and y coordinates
∴ Its image is (1, 2)
∴ The image of the point is (1, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 4x - 9
= (x + 2)² - 13
a = 2, b = -13.
