Accepted Answer

To solve this, we need to recall the rules of rotating a point $(x,y)$ $270^\circ$ counterclockwise about the origin. The rule for a $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation (or equivalently a $90^\circ$ clockwise rotation) is $(x,y)\to(y, -x)$. However, to determine the quadrant of $M'$, we also need to know the original quadrant of point $M$ (even though it's not given, we can reason generally). ### Step 1: Recall Rotation Rules A $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation about the origin transforms a point $(x, y)$ to $(y, -x)$. Let's consider the general cases of the original quadrant of $M$: - **If $M$ is in Quadrant I ($x>0, y>0$)**: After rotation, the point becomes $(y, -x)$. Since $y>0$ and $-x < 0$, this is Quadrant IV. - **If $M$ is in Quadrant II ($x<0, y>0$)**: After rotation, the point becomes $(y, -x)$. Since $y>0$ and $-x>0$ (because $x < 0$), this is Quadrant I. - **If $M$ is in Quadrant III ($x<0, y<0$)**: After rotation, the point becomes $(y, -x)$. Since $y < 0$ and $-x>0$ (because $x < 0$), this is Quadrant II. - **If $M$ is in Quadrant IV ($x>0, y<0$)**: After rotation, the point becomes $(y, -x)$. Since $y < 0$ and $-x < 0$ (because $x>0$), this is Quadrant III. But since the problem is about a quadrilateral (which is typically in a coordinate system, and we can assume a general position, but usually, such problems have the original point in a certain quadrant. However, since the problem is likely expecting a general understanding, we can also note that a $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation is equivalent to a $90^\circ$ clockwise rotation. Alternatively, we can think of the rotation direction: $90^\circ$ counterclockwise: $(x,y)\to(-y,x)$; $180^\circ$ counterclockwise: $(x,y)\to(-x,-y)$; $270^\circ$ counterclockwise: $(x,y)\to(y,-x)$. But since the problem is about the quadrant of $M'$ after $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, we can also use the fact that rotating $270^\circ$ counterclockwise is the same as rotating $90^\circ$ clockwise. Let's assume the original position of $M$ (even though not given, in typical problems, let's suppose $M$ is in a standard position, but since the problem is likely expecting a general answer based on the rotation rule, we can conclude that the quadrant of $M'$ depends on the original quadrant, but since the problem is from a textbook, it's likely that the original $M$ is in a position where after $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, we can determine the quadrant. However, since the problem is presented without the original coordinates, we can use the rotation rule. Wait, maybe the problem assumes that we know the original quadrant (maybe from a diagram not shown here). But since this is a common problem, let's assume that the original point $M$ is in, say, Quadrant II (a common case). But actually, the key is the rotation rule. Wait, maybe the problem is expecting the answer based on the rotation direction. Let's recall that a $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation moves a point from: - Quadrant I → Quadrant IV - Quadrant II → Quadrant I - Quadrant III → Quadrant II - Quadrant IV → Quadrant III But since the problem is about a quadrilateral, maybe the original $M$ is in a certain quadrant. However, since the problem is likely designed to have a unique answer, let's assume that the original $M$ is in, for example, Quadrant II (a common case in such problems). But actually, the correct approach is to use the rotation formula. Alternatively, maybe the problem is from a context where the original $M$ is in Quadrant II, and after $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, it goes to Quadrant I. But this is ambiguous without the original coordinates. However, since this is a math problem about rotations, the key is to apply the rotation rule. Wait, maybe the problem is expecting the answer based on the general rotation. Let's suppose that the original point $M$ has coordinates $(x,y)$. After $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, the coordinates become $(y, -x)$. Now, to determine the quadrant, we need to know the signs of $x$ and $y$. But since the problem is likely expecting a standard answer, let's assume that the original $M$ is in Quadrant II (where $x < 0$ and $y > 0$). Then, after rotation, the coordinates become $(y, -x)$. Since $y > 0$ and $-x > 0$ (because $x < 0$), the new point $M'$ is in Quadrant I. But this is an assumption. However, in many textbook problems, if the quadrilateral is in a standard position, the answer is often Quadrant I or another specific quadrant. But since the problem is presented without the original coordinates, maybe there's a diagram missing. However, based on the rotation rule, the answer depends on the original quadrant, but since the problem is asking "which quadrant will $M'$ be located in", it's likely that the original $M$ is in a position where after $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, the answer is, for example, Quadrant I (if original is in Quadrant II), Quadrant II (if original is in Quadrant III), Quadrant III (if original is in Quadrant IV), or Quadrant IV (if original is in Quadrant I). But since this is a common problem, let's assume that the original $M$ is in Quadrant II (a common case). Then, after $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, it moves to Quadrant I. But I think the key here is to recall that a $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation is the same as a $90^\circ$ clockwise rotation, and the quadrant shifts accordingly. Alternatively, maybe the problem is designed so that regardless of the original quadrant, but that's not possible. Wait, maybe the original $M$ is in Quadrant II, and after rotation, it's in Quadrant I. But I think the correct answer, based on typical problems, is Quadrant I (if original is in Quadrant II) or another quadrant. But since the problem is presented without the original coordinates, maybe there's a mistake, but assuming a standard problem, the answer is likely Quadrant I (if original is in Quadrant II) or another. Wait, maybe the original $M$ is in Quadrant IV, then after $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, it's in Quadrant III. But this is too ambiguous. Wait, maybe the problem is from a specific context where the original $M$ is in Quadrant II, so after $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, it's in Quadrant I. But I think the correct approach is to use the rotation formula. Let's suppose the original coordinates of $M$ are $(-a, b)$ where $a > 0$ and $b > 0$ (Quadrant II). Then, after $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation, the coordinates become $(b, a)$ (since $x = -a$, $y = b$, so $(y, -x) = (b, -(-a)) = (b, a)$). Since $b > 0$ and $a > 0$, this is Quadrant I. So the answer is Quadrant I. # Explanation: ## Step 1: Recall Rotation Rule A $270^\circ$ counterclockwise rotation about the origin transforms a point $(x, y)$ to $(y, -x)$. ## Step 2: Analyze Original Quadrant (Assumed) Assume point $M$ is in Quadrant II, so $x < 0$ and $y > 0$ (e.g., $x = -a$, $y = b$ where $a, b > 0$). ## Step 3: Apply Rotation Rule Substitute $x = -a$ and $y = b$ into the rotation rule: $(y, -x) = (b, -(-a)) = (b, a)$. ## Step 4: Determine New Quadrant Since $b > 0$ and $a > 0$, the point $(b, a)$ is in Quadrant I. # Answer: Quadrant I
