Rotate the point (−4, −6) on a geometric figure 90 degrees counterclockwise. What is the new point?
1.(6, −4)
2.(−6, 4)
3.(6, 4)
4.(−6, −4)
To rotate a point 90 degrees counterclockwise, you can switch the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.
The original point is (-4, -6).
Switching the x and y coordinates gives (-6, -4).
Negating the new x coordinate gives (6, -4).
Therefore, the new point is option 1: (6, -4).
