Rule : When we rotate a figure of 90 degrees clockwise, each point of the given figure has to be changed from (x, y) to (y, -x) and graph the rotated figure. Let us look at some examples to understand how 90 degree clockwise rotation can be done on a figure.

What happens when coordinates rotate 90 clockwise?

Answer: To rotate the figure 90 degrees clockwise about a point, every point(x,y) will rotate to (y, -x). So, each point has to be rotated and new coordinates have to be found. Then we can join the points and find the new positioned figure.

What happens to the coordinates when rotated 180 degrees clockwise?

180 Degree Rotation. Rotation of a point through 180°, about the origin when a point M (h, k) is rotated about the origin O through 180° in anticlockwise or clockwise direction, it takes the new position M’ (-h, -k).

Do you think that a 270 clockwise rotation is the same as a 90 counterclockwise rotation explain why or why not?

Answer: Yes, I think they are the same. One revolution is 360 degrees A 180 degree clockwise rotation is the same as a 180 counterclockwise rotation. The sum of the measures is 360. So moving in a clockwise direction for 270 degrees would end at the same place as moving 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction.

Is a 90 degree rotation clockwise or counterclockwise?

Since the rotation is 90 degrees, you will rotating the point in a clockwise direction.

Is rotating 180 degrees clockwise different than rotating 180 degrees counter clockwise?

Yes, the formula for a 180° rotation about the origin is the same for both clockwise and counterclockwise.

What is 90 degrees counterclockwise?

90 Degree Rotation When rotating a point 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin our point A(x,y) becomes A ‘(-y,x). In other words, switch x and y and make y negative.
