Solution

To find the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation of 90° counterclockwise around the origin, we can use the following transformation rule for rotating a point (x,y)(x, y):

(x,y)=(y,x) (x', y') = (-y, x)

This means that to rotate a point (x,y)(x, y):

  1. The new x-coordinate xx' will be y-y.
  2. The new y-coordinate yy' will be xx.

Steps to Follow

  1. Identify the Original Coordinates: Suppose we have the vertices with original coordinates. Let’s denote them as (x1,y1),(x2,y2),(x3,y3),...(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), (x_3, y_3), ....

  2. Apply the Rotation: For each vertex, apply the transformation:

    • For the first vertex: (x1,y1)(y1,x1)(x_1, y_1) \rightarrow (-y_1, x_1)
    • For the second vertex: (x2,y2)(y2,x2)(x_2, y_2) \rightarrow (-y_2, x_2)
    • Continue this for all vertices.
  3. List the New Coordinates: After performing the transformation for each vertex, list the new coordinates.

Final Answer

If we had specific vertices, say (1,2)(1, 2), (3,4)(3, 4), and (5,6)(5, 6), the transformed coordinates would be:

  • Vertex (1,2)(1, 2) becomes (2,1)(-2, 1)
  • Vertex (3,4)(3, 4) becomes (4,3)(-4, 3)
  • Vertex (5,6)(5, 6) becomes (6,5)(-6, 5)

Therefore, the new coordinates after a rotation of 90° counterclockwise around the origin would be:

  • (2,1)(-2, 1), (4,3)(-4, 3), (6,5)(-6, 5).

If you provide specific vertices, I can compute the exact rotation for those coordinates.
