Question

write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 90° counterclockwise around the origin.

(grid with points b, c, d, e plotted; then blanks for b, c, d, e coordinates)

Explanation:

Step1: Find original coordinates

First, identify the original coordinates of each vertex from the graph:
- \( B(-10, 1) \) (Wait, no, looking at the graph, \( B \) is at \( (-10, 1) \)? Wait, no, the y - axis: \( B \) is on \( y = 1 \)? Wait, no, the grid: \( B \) is at \( (-10, 1) \)? Wait, no, let's check again. The x - axis: \( B \) is at \( x=-10 \), y - axis: \( B \) is at \( y = 1 \)? Wait, no, the vertical line for \( B \): from the graph, \( B \) is at \( (-10, 1) \)? Wait, no, the points: \( B \) is at \( (-10, 1) \)? Wait, no, looking at the graph, \( B \) is at \( (-10, 1) \)? Wait, no, the coordinates: \( B(-10, 1) \)? Wait, no, the y - coordinate for \( B \) and \( C \) is 1? Wait, no, the grid lines: \( B \) is at \( (-10, 1) \), \( C(-2, 1) \), \( D(-2, 10) \), \( E(-10, 10) \). Wait, let's confirm:
- \( B \): x = -10, y = 1 (since it's on the horizontal line y = 1, x=-10)
- \( C \): x = -2, y = 1 (on y = 1, x=-2)
- \( D \): x = -2, y = 10 (on x=-2, y = 10)
- \( E \): x = -10, y = 10 (on x=-10, y = 10)

Step2: Apply 90° counterclockwise rotation rule

The rule for rotating a point \((x,y)\) 90° counterclockwise around the origin is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\).

For point \( B(-10, 1) \):

Using the rule \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\), substitute \( x=-10 \), \( y = 1 \). So \( -y=-1 \), \( x=-10 \)? Wait, no: wait, the rule is \((x,y)\) rotated 90° counterclockwise is \((-y,x)\). So for \( B(-10,1) \): \( x=-10 \), \( y = 1 \). Then new \( x=-y=-1 \), new \( y=x=-10 \). So \( B'(-1, -10) \)? Wait, no, wait: the formula is \((x,y)\) 90° counterclockwise: \((-y, x)\). So if \( (x,y)=(-10,1) \), then \( -y=-1 \), \( x=-10 \)? Wait, no, \( x=-10 \), \( y = 1 \). So \( -y=-1 \), \( x=-10 \)? Wait, no, the formula is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So:
- \( x=-10 \), \( y = 1 \): new \( x=-y=-1 \), new \( y=x=-10 \). So \( B'(-1, -10) \)? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe I got the y - coordinate wrong. Wait, looking at the graph, \( D \) and \( E \) are at y = 10. So \( D(-2,10) \), \( E(-10,10) \), \( B(-10,1) \), \( C(-2,1) \). Yes, that makes sense. So \( B(-10,1) \), \( C(-2,1) \), \( D(-2,10) \), \( E(-10,10) \).

For point \( B(-10,1) \):

Applying \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\): \( x=-10 \), \( y = 1 \). So new \( x=-y=-1 \), new \( y=x=-10 \). So \( B'(-1, -10) \)? Wait, no, wait, maybe the y - coordinate is 1? Wait, no, let's check the rotation rule again. The 90° counterclockwise rotation around the origin: the transformation matrix is \( \begin{pmatrix}-1&0\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}0&-1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\end{pmatrix} \)? Wait, no, the standard rotation matrix for 90° counterclockwise is \( \begin{pmatrix}0&-1\\1&0\end{pmatrix} \). So for a point \((x,y)\), the new point \((x',y')\) is given by \( x'=-y \), \( y'=x \).

So for \( B(-10,1) \):
\( x'=-y=-1 \), \( y'=x=-10 \). So \( B'(-1, -10) \)

For point \( C(-2,1) \):

Using the rule \( (x,y)\to(-y,x) \). \( x=-2 \), \( y = 1 \). So \( x'=-y=-1 \), \( y'=x=-2 \). So \( C'(-1, -2) \)? Wait, no, wait: \( x=-2 \), \( y = 1 \). So \( x'=-1 \), \( y'=-2 \). So \( C'(-1, -2) \)

For point \( D(-2,10) \):

Using the rule \( (x,y)\to(-y,x) \). \( x=-2 \), \( y = 10 \). So \( x'=-y=-10 \), \( y'=x=-2 \). So \( D'(-10, -2) \)

For point \( E(-10,10) \):

Using the rule \( (x,y)\to(-y,x) \). \( x=-10 \), \( y = 10 \). So \( x'=-y=-10 \), \( y'=x=-10 \). So \( E'(-10, -10) \)

Wait, that seems off. Wait, maybe I mixed up the rotation direction. Wait, 90° counterclockwise: the correct rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). Let's take a simple point, say (1,0). Rotating 90° counterclockwise around origin should give (0,1). Using the rule: \( x=1 \), \( y = 0 \). \( x'=-0 = 0 \), \( y'=1 \). Correct. Another point: (0,1) rotated 90° counterclockwise is (-1,0). Using the rule: \( x=0 \), \( y = 1 \). \( x'=-1 \), \( y'=0 \). Correct. So the rule is correct.

So let's re - calculate the points:

- \( B(-10,1) \): \( x'=-y=-1 \), \( y'=x=-10 \) → \( B'(-1, -10) \)
- \( C(-2,1) \): \( x'=-y=-1 \), \( y'=x=-2 \) → \( C'(-1, -2) \)
- \( D(-2,10) \): \( x'=-y=-10 \), \( y'=x=-2 \) → \( D'(-10, -2) \)
- \( E(-10,10) \): \( x'=-y=-10 \), \( y'=x=-10 \) → \( E'(-10, -10) \)

Wait, but let's check the original coordinates again. Maybe I made a mistake in the original y - coordinates. Let's look at the graph: the top points \( D \) and \( E \) are at y = 10 (since the y - axis goes up to 10). The bottom points \( B \) and \( C \) are at y = 1 (since they are on the horizontal line just above the x - axis, y = 1). So original coordinates:

- \( B(-10,1) \)
- \( C(-2,1) \)
- \( D(-2,10) \)
- \( E(-10,10) \)

Applying the 90° counterclockwise rotation rule \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\):

- \( B(-10,1)\): \( x'=-1 \), \( y'=-10 \) → \( B'(-1, -10) \)
- \( C(-2,1)\): \( x'=-1 \), \( y'=-2 \) → \( C'(-1, -2) \)
- \( D(-2,10)\): \( x'=-10 \), \( y'=-2 \) → \( D'(-10, -2) \)
- \( E(-10,10)\): \( x'=-10 \), \( y'=-10 \) → \( E'(-10, -10) \)

Answer:

\( B'(-1, -10) \), \( C'(-1, -2) \), \( D'(-10, -2) \), \( E'(-10, -10) \)
