A line segment has endpoints (2, -1) and (5, -4). What are the new endpoints after rotating the segment 90 degrees clockwise?
To rotate a point (x, y) 90 degrees clockwise, we can use the following formula:
(x', y') = (y, -x)
Let's apply this formula to the first endpoint (2, -1):
(2', -1') = (-1, -2)
Now, let's apply the formula to the second endpoint (5, -4):
(5', -4') = (-4, -5)
Therefore, the new endpoints after rotating the segment 90 degrees clockwise are (-1, -2) and (-4, -5).
