The coordinates of triangle PRS are P(-3, 2), R(2,5), and S(0, 0). What are the coordinates after a 270 degree rotation?

Answer 1

Sadie Allen

As listed below

Assumption : Rotated about origin by #270^@ = (3pi)/2# clockwise.

#P ((-3),(2)) -> P’ ((-2),(-3))# II to III quadrant.

#R ((2),(5) - > R’ ((-5),(2))# I to II quadrant.

#S ((0),(0)) ->S’ ((0),(0))# Origin. No change

After a 270-degree rotation about the origin, the new coordinates of triangle PRS would be:

P'(-2, -3), R'(-5, 2), and S'(0, 0).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
