given a point on a geometric figure (1,2), what is the new point when the point is rotated clockwise about the origin 90 degrees?
To rotate a point (x, y) 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, we can use the following formulas:
New x-coordinate = y
New y-coordinate = -x
Using the given point (1, 2):
New x-coordinate = 2
New y-coordinate = -1
Therefore, the new point after rotating (1, 2) 90 degrees clockwise about the origin is (2, -1).
