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? (1 point)
• (4, 6)
0 (-6, - 4)
0 (-6, 4)
0 (-4, 6)
To rotate a point (x, y) 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, we can use the following formulas:
New x-coordinate = y
New y-coordinate = -x
Using these formulas with the given point (-4, -6):
New x-coordinate = -6
New y-coordinate = -(-4) = 4
Therefore, the new point when the given point is rotated clockwise about the origin 90 degrees is ( -6, 4).
