Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. A triangle A B C is plotted on the graph. The triangle A B C has its vertices marked with closed points at A left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis, B left parenthesis 6 comma 4 right parenthesis, and C left parenthesis 2 comma 2 right parenthesis.

Given point A(2, 6) on the triangle, where would the new point on the triangle be after a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise?

The new point after a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise can be found by switching the x and y coordinates of the original point and changing the sign of the new x coordinate.

So, the new point would be (6, -2).
