Given a point on a geometric figure (1, 2) , 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:
x_new = y
y_new = -x
Applying these formulas, we can find the new coordinates:
x_new = 2
y_new = -1
Therefore, the new point after rotating the point (1, 2) 90 degrees clockwise about the origin is (2, -1).
