Q:

Which statement accurately describes how to perform a 90° counterclockwise rotation of point A (−1, −2) around the origin? Create a circle with point A as its center and a radius of the origin and point A, then locate a point on the circle that is 90° clockwise from point A. Create a circle with point A as its center and a radius of the origin and point A, then locate a point on the circle that is 90° counterclockwise from point A. Create a circle with the origin as its center and a radius of the origin and point A, then locate a point on the circle that is 90° clockwise from point A. Create a circle with the origin as its center and a radius of the origin and point A, then locate a point on the circle that is 90° counterclockwise from point A. ​

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:last oneStep-by-step explanation:You are swinging A(-1,-2) around the center which in this case is the origin. Keep in mind that points on a circle all have a equal distance from the origin.  We don't want the distance from the center to change. We want the center of that circle to be the origin. So the answer is the last one:"Create a circle with the origin as its center and a radius of the origin and point A, then locate a point on the circle that is 90° counterclockwise from point A. ​"
