Question

what is the result of rotating a figure 90° counterclockwise about the origin? a) the figure stays in the same place. b) the figure is rotated halfway around the origin. c) the figure moves over 1 quadrant d) the figure is flipped over the y - axis. o a) the figure stays in the same place. o b) the figure is rotated halfway around the origin. o c) the figure moves over 1 quadrant o d) the figure is flipped over the y - axis.

Explanation:

A 90 - degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin moves a figure from one quadrant to an adjacent quadrant. A full - turn is 360 degrees, half - turn is 180 degrees, and staying in the same place is 0 degrees rotation. Flipping over the y - axis is a reflection, not a 90 - degree rotation.

Answer:

C. The figure moves over 1 quadrant
