Rotate the point -4, 6) on the geometric figure 90 degrees counterclockwise. What is the new point
To rotate a point 90 degrees counterclockwise, we can swap the x and y coordinates and change the sign of the new y coordinate.
So, for the point (-4, 6), the new coordinates after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation would be (6, -4).
To rotate a point 90 degrees counterclockwise on a geometric figure, we need to use the formula:
New_x = -y
New_y = x
Let's apply this formula to the point (-4, 6):
New_x = -6
New_y = -4
Therefore, the new point after rotating (-4, 6) 90 degrees counterclockwise is (-6, -4).
