How Do You Rotate a Figure 270 Degrees Clockwise Around the Origin?

Rotate a figure 270 degrees about the origin.

Summary

  1. Changing the y-coordinates will make all coordinates negative and give us an image, or reflection, in the third quadrant
  2. Switching the coordinates will flip the figure back to the right orientation
  3. Each coordinate (x,y) is changed to (-y,-x)
  4. This is our general formula for rotating the figure 270 degrees about the origin

Notes

    1. Changing the y-coordinates will give us an image in the third quadrant
    2. In other words, it will be a reflection of the figure in the second quadrant
