When a shape is rotated, it must be rotated through a point.
- <em>90 degrees counterclockwise rotation negates the y-coordinates, and then swap the x and y-coordinates</em>
- <em>Chanel is incorrect</em>
The rule of 90 degrees counterclockwise is:
This means that:
- <em>The y-coordinate is negated</em>
- <em>Then the y and x coordinates are swapped</em>
<em />
However, Charlies transformation is incorrect.
- This is so because, the shape was not rotated, but instead it was reflected across the x-axis.
- Then, the shape was dilated
Using points L and Q
When L is reflected across the x-axis.
The rule is:
So, we have:
Next, it is dilated by 2.
The rule of this is:
So, we have:
From the diagram, the coordinate of Q is:
Same as the calculated point
Hence, Chanel is incorrect
