Introduction

Review the key concept: rotating a point (x, y) about a fixed point (a, b) by an angle θ results in a new point (x', y') calculated using rotation formulas. Remember, rotations are usually measured in degrees and can be clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Rotate the point (3, 4) 90° clockwise about the origin (0,0). What are the coordinates of the image?
[2 marks]
2.
Rotate the point (-2, 5) 180° about the origin. What are the new coordinates?
[2 marks]
3.
Rotate the point (1, -3) 270° anti-clockwise about the origin. What are the coordinates after rotation?
[2 marks]
4.
What is the result of rotating the point (0, 2) 360° about the origin?
[2 marks]
5.
A point (x, y) is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to (2, -5). Find the original coordinates (x, y).
[3 marks]
6.
A triangle with vertices at A(2, 3), B(4, 5), and C(3, 7) is rotated 180° about point (2, 4). What are the new coordinates of the vertices?
[4 marks]
7.
A point (x, y) is rotated 45° anti-clockwise about the point (1, 1). The resulting coordinates are (3, 4). Find the original coordinates (x, y).
[4 marks]
8.
Explain how the size of the angle of rotation affects the position of the image relative to the original point.
[3 marks]
9.
A square is rotated 45° about its center. Describe how the vertices' positions change and what symmetry this introduces.
[3 marks]
