Given a point on a line segment (−4, −6) , what is the new point when the point is rotated clockwise about the origin 90 degrees?
To rotate a point (x, y) 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, we can use the following formulas:
New_x = y
New_y = -x
For the point (-4, -6), applying the formulas gives:
New_x = -6
New_y = -(-4) = 4
Therefore, the new point after rotating (-4, -6) 90 degrees clockwise about the origin is (4, -6).
