Question

Look at quadrilateral ABCD on the coordinate plane.

If quadrilateral ABCD is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, what are the coordinates of point B', the image of point B?

A) (-3,-2)
B) (2,3)
C) (3,2)
D) (0,1)

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of point B' after a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin, switch the x and y coordinates of B and negate the new x coordinate. The coordinates of B' will be (-3,-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

When quadrilateral ABCD is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, point B will move to a new position, which we'll call B'. To find the coordinates of B', we need to use the rotation rules.

To rotate a point 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, we switch the x and y coordinates and then negate the new x coordinate. So, the coordinates of B' will be (-3,-2), which corresponds to option A.
