Draw Rotations

The document describes rotations as transformations that move every point of a preimage through a specified angle and direction about a fixed center point. It provides examples of drawing rotations of different angles of figures and points in the coordinate plane. It also provides exercises asking to draw rotations of various angles of figures and graph rotations of figures in the coordinate plane.

3•4 Rotations

Draw Rotations
A rotation is a transformation that moves every point of the
preimage through a specified angle, x°, and direction about a
fixed point called the center of rotation.
• If the point being rotated is the center of rotation, then
the image and preimage are the same point.
• If the point being rotated is not the center of rotation, then
the image and preimage are the same distance from the center
of rotation and the measure of the angle of rotation formed by
the preimage, center of rotation, and image points is x°.

Draw Rotations In The Coordinate Plane
3•4
The following rules can be used to rotate a point 90°, 180°, or
270° counterclockwise about the origin in the coordinate plane.
ROTATIONS

To rotate Procedure
90° Multiply the y-coordinate by −1 and then
counterclockwise interchange the x- and y-coordinates.
180° Multiply the x- and y-coordinates by −1.
270° Multiply the x-coordinate by −1 and then
counterclockwise interchange the x-and y-coordinates.

EXAMPLE Rotations in the Coordinate Plane


Parallelogram WXYZ has vertices W(−2, 4), X(3, 6),
Y(5, 2), and Z(0, 0). Graph parallelogram WXYZ and
its image after a rotation of 270° counterclockwise
about the origin.

Multiply the x-coordinate by −1 and then interchange the


x- and y-coordinates.

(x, y) → (  y, −x)


W(−2, 4) → W′(4, 2)

X(3, 6) → X′(6, −3)


Y(5, 2) → Y′(2, −5)
Z(0, 0) → Z′(0, 0)
