efgh is rotated 90 degrers clockwise about the origin and then translate it 3 units down if the coordinates of a resultant point is 1,-4 what were the coordinates original point?A. 2,5B.4,5C.3,1D.1,1

Respuesta :

90-degree clockwise rotation transforms the coordinates the following way:

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow(y,-x)[/tex]

Now, after performing 90-degree clockwise rotation, we also move our point 3 units down, meaning, the final coordinates of the point are

[tex](y,-x-3)[/tex]

Now we are told that the coordinates of the resultant point are

[tex](1,-4)[/tex]

meaning

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=1 \\ -x-3=-4 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solving for x gives

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=1 \\ x=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the coordinates of the original point are

[tex](1,1)[/tex]

which is choice D.
