Question

Triangle JKL is shown on the grid below. Triangle J'K'L' is the image of triangle JKL under a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin. What are the coordinates of vertices J', K', and L'′? (Hint: Use the chart, switch x and y and make switch sign of second coordinate)

Answer 1

J (-4 , 1) -> J' (1 , 4)

K (-2 , 1) -> K' (1 , 2)

L (-2 , 5) -> L' (5 , 2)

Explanation:

clockwise rotation 90°: (x,y) -> (y,-x)

J (-4 , 1) -> J' (1 , 4)

K (-2 , 1) -> K' (1 , 2)

L (-2 , 5) -> L' (5 , 2)
