Algebra.Com's Answer #834708 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "The \"path\" from vertex A to vertex C is \"up 8, right 1\". \n" ); document.write( "When the triangle is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about vertex A, \"up 8, right 1\" becomes \"right 8, down 1\". \n" ); document.write( "So the image of vertex C is 8 units right and 1 unit down from vertex A. \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: (1+8,-5-1) = (9,-6) \n" ); document.write( "Depending on your level of math knowledge, you could of course work this problem formally using vectors.... \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
