Triangle ABC was transformed using the rule (x, y) → (–y, x). The vertices of the triangles are shown. A (–1, 1) B (1, 1) C (1, 4) A' (–1, –1) B' (–1, 1) C' (–4, 1) Which best describes the transformation?

The transformation was a 90° rotation about the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC was transformed using the rule (x, y) → (–y, x). The vertices of the triangles are shown. A (–1, 1) B (1, 1) C (1, 4) A' (–1, –1) B' (–1, 1) C' (–4, 1) Which best describes the transformation? The transformation was a 90° rotation about the origin. The transformation was a 180° rotation about the origin. The transformation was a 270° rotation about the origin. The transformation was a 360° rotation about the origin.

Transformation is the process of moving a point in a graph to another point. The new point formed is the image of the old point. When an object is transformed each point of the object is moved to another point. There are three types of transformation: Reflection, Rotation, Translation and dilation.

If a point O(x, y) is rotated 90° rotation about the origin., the new point is at O'(-y, x). That is the x coordinates becomes negative of the y coordinate and the y coordinate becomes the x coordinate.

The vertices of the triangles are shown. A (–1, 1) B (1, 1) C (1, 4), If a transformation of 90° rotation about the origin is done, the new points are A' (–1, –1) B' (–1, 1) C' (–4, 1)
