Question

what is the image of the point (4, -8) after a rotation of 270° counterclockwise about the origin? answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation rule

The rule for a $270^{\circ}$ counter - clockwise rotation about the origin is $(x,y)\to(y, - x)$.

Step2: Apply the rule

Given the point $(4,-8)$, substituting $x = 4$ and $y=-8$ into the rule. We get $x'=-8$ and $y'=-4$.

Answer:

$(-8,-4)$
