Rotation Transformations
Rotation by 60 Degrees
- Point P is rotated about the origin (0, 0) by 60 degrees.
- A positive rotation of 60 degrees implies a counterclockwise rotation.
- 60 degrees is one third of 180 degrees.
- Point C is the image of P after a 60-degree rotation, maintaining the same distance from the origin.
- Point D represents a rotation greater than 60 degrees.
Rotation by Negative 90 Degrees
- Point P is rotated by -90 degrees; the center of rotation is indicated.
- A negative rotation of -90 degrees implies a clockwise rotation.
- 90 degrees forms a right angle.
- Point A represents the image of P after a -90 degree rotation in the clockwise direction.
