Understanding Rotations and Coordinates

The video tutorial explains the concept of rotating a triangle by 270 degrees counterclockwise, which is equivalent to a 90-degree clockwise rotation. It covers the process of calculating new coordinates by swapping and negating values, plotting these points on a graph, and confirming the results. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the equivalence of different rotation directions and provides a practical demonstration of plotting the rotated triangle.

What is the initial shape used in the rotation lesson?

• A circle

• A triangle

• A rectangle

• A square

At what angle is the triangle first rotated?

• 90 degrees

• 270 degrees

• 45 degrees

• 180 degrees

What is the rule for rotating a point 270 degrees counterclockwise?

• Swap x and y, negate y

• Swap x and y, negate x

• Negate x and y

• Swap x and y, negate both

What are the new coordinates of point L after a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation?

• (1, -1)

• (-1, 1)

• (1, 1)

• (-1, -1)

Which point is located at (-2, -5) after the transformation?

• L triple prime

• Q triple prime

• R triple prime

• P triple prime

What is the significance of plotting the new coordinates on a graph?

• To calculate the angles of the triangle

• To determine the perimeter of the triangle

• To find the area of the triangle

• To check the accuracy of the rotation

What is the equivalent clockwise rotation for a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation?
