Question

rotate (-2, -6) 90° clockwise about the origin. what is the resulting point?
(2, -6)
(-6, -2)
(-6, 2)
(6, 2)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation rule

The rule for rotating a point $(x,y)$ 90 - degrees clockwise about the origin is $(x,y)\to(y, - x)$.

Step2: Apply the rule

Given the point $(-2,-6)$, where $x=-2$ and $y = - 6$. After applying the rule, we get $(-6,2)$.

Answer:

$(-6,2)$
