![]() ![]() So from 0 degrees you take (x, y) and make them negative (-x, -y) and then you've made a 180 degree rotation. When you rotate by 180 degrees, you take your original x and y, and make them negative. If you have a point on (2, 1) and rotate it by 180 degrees, it will end up at (-2, -1) ![]() We do the same thing, except X becomes a negative instead of Y. If you understand everything so far, then rotating by -90 degrees should be no issue for you. Our point is as (-2, -1) so when we rotate it 90 degrees, it will be at (1, -2)Īnother 90 degrees will bring us back where we started. What about 90 degrees again? Same thing! But remember that a negative and a negative gives a positive so when we swap X and Y, and make Y negative, Y actually becomes positive. Our point is at (-1, 2) so when we rotate it 90 degrees, it will be at (-2, -1) What if we rotate another 90 degrees? Same thing. So from 0 degrees you take (x, y), swap them, and make y negative (-y, x) and then you have made a 90 degree rotation. A rotation is a type of transformation that takes each point in a figure and rotates it a certain number of degrees around a given point. ![]() When you rotate by 90 degrees, you take your original X and Y, swap them, and make Y negative. Every point makes a circle around the center: Here a triangle is rotated around. If you have a point on (2, 1) and rotate it by 90 degrees, it will end up at (-1, 2) The distance from the center to any point on the shape stays the same. In case the algebraic method can help you: ![]()
