Question 176679: How do you rotate an image 90 degrees about the origin?

A rotation by 90� about the origin. The general rule for a rotation by 90� about the origin is (A,B) (-B, A) where A is composed of coordinates making up the object.
:
lets say you have a point P(2,-3). The 90 degree rotation would place it at P'(3,2) under our general rule. You will see that once you plot these two points if you draw a line from the origin to point P and another line to P' the two lines will be perpendiular thus forming a 90 degree angle. that is a good way to visually check to see if you have actually rotated 90 degrees.
:
Do this for every point in the object and you will end up with a 90 degree rotation

hope that helps
