If a line segment with endpoints (0, -3) and (0, -7) is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, what is the endpoint of this rotated segment
To rotate a point (x, y) 90 degrees clockwise, we can use the following formulas:
x' = y
y' = -x
Let's apply these formulas to the given endpoints:
For the first endpoint (0, -3):
x' = -3
y' = 0
For the second endpoint (0, -7):
x' = -7
y' = 0
Therefore, the endpoints of the rotated segment are (-3, 0) and (-7, 0).
