Hello, Veronica1999!
A quarter turn is a 90 degree rotation.
If the counterclockwise quarter-turn centered at (3,2) is applied to (7,1),
. . what are the coordinates of the image?
What are the image coordinates when this transformation
. . is applied to a general point (x,y)?
We have the point
and any point )
Code:
| y-2
| Q * - - *
| :
| :
| : x-3
| :
| :
| :P
| *(x,y}
| * :
| * :y-2
| * :
| A * - - - - - - - *
| (3,2) x-3
