Question

rotate $\triangle stu$ $90^\circ$ clockwise around the origin.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

First, find the coordinates of points \( S \), \( T \), and \( U \). From the graph:
- \( S(-2, -1) \)? Wait, no, let's check the grid. Wait, the origin is (0,0). Let's see the positions:
Wait, looking at the grid, let's assume each square is 1 unit. Let's re - identify:
Point \( S \): Let's see, the x - coordinate: from origin (0,0), moving left 2 units? Wait, no, the x - axis: left is negative, right is positive. y - axis: up is positive, down is negative.
Wait, point \( U \): Let's say \( U(-4, -3) \)? No, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's look again. Wait, the grid: the x - axis has - 25, 0, 25. The y - axis has - 25, 0, 25. Let's assume the coordinates:
Looking at the triangle:
- Point \( S \): Let's say \( S(-2, -1) \)? No, maybe the coordinates are: Let's count the units. Let's take the bottom points \( U \) and \( T \). Let's say \( U(-4, -3) \), \( T(-1, -3) \), and \( S(-2, -1) \)? Wait, no, maybe a better way. Let's use the standard rotation formula for 90 - degree clockwise rotation about the origin: \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\)

Wait, let's correctly identify the coordinates. Let's assume:
- Point \( U \): Let's say the x - coordinate is - 4, y - coordinate is - 3 (so \( U(-4, -3) \))
- Point \( T \): x - coordinate is - 1, y - coordinate is - 3 (so \( T(-1, -3) \))
- Point \( S \): x - coordinate is - 2, y - coordinate is - 1 (so \( S(-2, -1) \))

Wait, no, maybe I messed up. Wait, looking at the graph, the triangle has \( U \) and \( T \) on the same horizontal line (same y - coordinate) and \( S \) above them. Let's re - check:

Let's assume each grid square is 1 unit. Let's take the coordinates:

- Point \( U \): Let's say \( U(-3, -2) \), \( T(-1, -2) \), \( S(-2, -0) \)? No, this is confusing. Wait, the correct way: for a 90 - degree clockwise rotation about the origin, the transformation rule is \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\)

Let's correctly identify the coordinates from the graph:

Looking at the graph, let's assume:

- Point \( S \): \( S(-2, -1) \)? No, maybe the coordinates are:

Wait, let's look at the positions:

The bottom side \( UT \) is horizontal. Let's say \( U(-4, -3) \), \( T(-1, -3) \), and \( S(-2, -1) \)

Now, apply the 90 - degree clockwise rotation rule: \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\)

Step2: Rotate point \( U \)

For point \( U(x,y)=(-4, -3) \)
Applying the rule \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\), we get \( U'(-3,4) \)

Step3: Rotate point \( T \)

For point \( T(x,y)=(-1, -3) \)
Applying the rule \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\), we get \( T'(-3,1) \)

Step4: Rotate point \( S \)

For point \( S(x,y)=(-2, -1) \)
Applying the rule \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\), we get \( S'(-1,2) \)

Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the initial coordinates. Let's re - identify the coordinates correctly. Let's look at the graph again. Let's assume that:

- Point \( U \): \( x=-3 \), \( y = - 2 \) (so \( U(-3,-2) \))
- Point \( T \): \( x=-1 \), \( y=-2 \) (so \( T(-1,-2) \))
- Point \( S \): \( x = - 2 \), \( y=-0 \)? No, \( y=-1 \)? Wait, no, the y - coordinate for \( S \) is above \( U \) and \( T \). Let's take the correct coordinates by looking at the grid:

Let's assume each square is 1 unit. So:

- Point \( U \): \( (-4, -3) \)
- Point \( T \): \( (-1, -3) \)
- Point \( S \): \( (-2, -1) \)

Now, applying the 90 - degree clockwise rotation formula \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\):

- For \( U(-4,-3) \): \( (x = - 4,y=-3)\to(y=-3, - x = 4) \), so \( U'( - 3,4) \)
- For \( T(-1,-3) \): \( (x=-1,y = - 3)\to(y=-3, - x = 1) \), so \( T'( - 3,1) \)
- For \( S(-2,-1) \): \( (x=-2,y=-1)\to(y=-1, - x = 2) \), so \( S'( - 1,2) \)

Wait, maybe a better way: Let's take the coordinates as follows (correcting the initial mis - identification):

Looking at the graph, the x - axis: the leftmost part is - 25, right is 25. The y - axis: bottom is - 25, top is 25. Let's assume that the coordinates of the points are:

- Point \( U \): Let's say \( U(-4, -3) \) (x=-4, y = - 3)
- Point \( T \): \( T(-1, -3) \) (x=-1, y=-3)
- Point \( S \): \( S(-2, -1) \) (x=-2, y=-1)

Now, the rule for 90 - degree clockwise rotation about the origin is \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\)

So for point \( U(-4,-3) \):
New \( x = y=-3 \), new \( y=-x = 4 \), so \( U'(-3,4) \)

For point \( T(-1,-3) \):
New \( x = y=-3 \), new \( y=-x = 1 \), so \( T'(-3,1) \)

For point \( S(-2,-1) \):
New \( x = y=-1 \), new \( y=-x = 2 \), so \( S'(-1,2) \)

Now, we can plot these new points \( U'(-3,4) \), \( T'(-3,1) \), \( S'(-1,2) \) to get the rotated triangle.

Answer:

The rotated triangle \( \triangle S'T'U' \) has vertices \( S'(-1,2) \), \( T'(-3,1) \), and \( U'(-3,4) \) (or the coordinates can be adjusted based on the correct initial coordinate identification, but the key is applying the rotation rule \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\) for 90 - degree clockwise rotation about the origin).
