Question

Point K is rotated 90°. The coordinate of the pre-image point K was (2, –6) and its image K’ is at the coordinate (−6, −2).

Find the direction of the rotation.


The direction of rotation was (clockwise or counterclockwise)
.

Answer 1

Clockwise rotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for rotating a figure 90 degrees clockwise is (y, -x). Using that rule and the points given to us, we can find out that the direction of rotation is clockwise.

Answer 2
