Rotate the point (9, 5) on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point???
To rotate a point 270 degrees clockwise, we can imagine rotating it 90 degrees counterclockwise three times.
To rotate a point 90 degrees counterclockwise, we can switch the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.
Let's apply this process step by step:
1. Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise: (-5, 9)
2. Rotate another 90 degrees counterclockwise: (-9, -5)
3. Rotate a final 90 degrees counterclockwise: (5, -9)
So, the new point after rotating (9, 5) 270 degrees clockwise is (5, -9).
