Given a point on a geometric figure (1, 2), what is the new point when the new point is rotated clockwise about the origin 90 degrees.
To rotate a point (x, y) about the origin 90 degrees clockwise, we can use the following formulas:
new_x = y
new_y = -x
Applying these formulas to the given point (1, 2):
new_x = 2
new_y = -1
Therefore, the new point when (1, 2) is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the origin is (2, -1).
