By applying the equation for the rotation around the origin we conclude that the image of the point (7, 8) after rotating 90° counterclockwise is (-8, 7).
In this question we must apply a rigid transformation on a point to find its image, rigid transformations are transformations applied on geometric loci such that Euclidean distances are observed in every point of the loci. A rotation about the origin is a kind of rigid transformation and is defined by the following expression:
(x', y') = (x · cos θ - y · sin θ, x · sin θ + y · cos θ)
Where:
Please notice that positive values of θ represents a counterclockwise rotation. If we know that (x, y) = (7, 8) and θ = 90°, then the resulting point is:
(x', y') = (7 · cos 90° - 8 · sin 90°, 7 · sin 90° + 8 · cos 90°)
(x', y') = (-8, 7)
By applying the equation for the rotation around the origin we conclude that the image of the point (7, 8) after rotating 90° counterclockwise is (-8, 7).
