rotate the point (2, 4) on a geometric figure 90° clockwise. What is the new point?
a. (-4, 2)
b. (4, -2)
c. (-4, -2)
d. (-2, -4)
To rotate a point 90° clockwise, we switch the coordinates and negate the new x-coordinate.
The original point is (2, 4).
The new x-coordinate is 4, and the new y-coordinate is -2.
Therefore, the new point is (4, -2).
So the correct answer is: b. (4, -2)
