Coordinate Plane:Rotations
A rotation is a transformation that “turns” a figure about a point in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
The point about which the figure rotates is called the center of rotation.
A rotation image is congruent to original figure and have different orientations.
To describe a rotation, tell whether the turn is clockwise or counterclockwise and the number of degrees the figure is turned around its center of rotation.
A 90° rotation is a quarter turn.A 180° rotation is a half turn.A 270° rotation is a three-quarter turn.
Rules for Counterclockwise Rotation About the Origin90° rotation: (x,y)
180° rotation: (x,y)
270° rotation: (x,y)
(-y, x)
(-x, -y)
(y, -x)
Rules for Clockwise Rotation About the Origin90° rotation: (x,y)
180° rotation: (x,y)
270° rotation: (x,y) (-y, x)
(-x, -y)
(y, -x)
You can draw a rotation of a point P(x,y) counterclockwise about the origin on a coordinate plane.
ExampleRotate P(-2,3) 90°, 180°, and 270° counterclockwise about the origin.
● 90° rotation:(x, y) → (-y, x)P(-2, 3) → P′ (-3, -2)
Now graph the point.
Change the sign of the y-coordinate, and then reverse the order of the coordinates.
● 180° rotation:(x, y) → (-x, -y)P(-2, 3) → P′′ (2, -3)
Now graph the point.
Change the sign of both the x- and y-coordinates.
● 270° rotation:(x, y) → (y, -x)P(-2, 3) → P′′′ (3, 2)
Now graph the point.
Change the sign of the x-coordinate, and then reverse the order of the coordinates.
To rotate a polygon 90°, 180°, or 270° about the origin, rotate the vertices, and then connect their images to form the image of the polygon.
ExampleRotate ABC with vertices A(-5,-2), B(-1,-2), and C(-4,-4) 90° counterclockwise about the origin.
A( -5, -2) →
B(-1, -2) →
C (-4, -4) →
90° rotation: (x,y) → (-y,x)A′ (2, -5)
B′ (2, -1)
C′ (4, -4)
Now graph the points and connect for form the triange.
Segments from the origin to a point on the original polygon and the origin to the corresponding point on the rotation image form a 90° angle.
