Demonstrating the properties of rotations, if a line segment with endpoints (0, -3) and (0, -7) is rotated 90° clockwise, what is an endpoint of this rotated segment? (1 point)
To rotate a point (x, y) 90° clockwise, we can use the following equations:
new_x = y
new_y = -x
Let's apply these equations to the endpoints of the line segment:
For the first endpoint (0, -3):
new_x = -3
new_y = 0
So, the new endpoint after rotating the segment 90° clockwise is (-3, 0).
For the second endpoint (0, -7):
new_x = -7
new_y = 0
Thus, the other endpoint after rotating the line segment 90° clockwise is (-7, 0).
