90 degree about the origin (0,0) takes (2,0) to
(0,2)
90 degree about the origin takes (0,3) = (-3,
0)
To find where does the rotation of (4,1) about the
origin goes to.
Let A bethe point (4,1). and O is the
origin (0 , 0).
Then the slope of OA =
4/1
Length of OA = sqrt(4^2+1) =
sqr17.
When A is rotated by 90 degree , it moves to a
place B in 2nd quadrant B (x,y).
OB = OA =
sqrt17.
x^2+y^2 =
17...(1)
Then the slope of B =
y/x
Product of the slope of OB andOA = -1 as the angle AOB
= 90 degrees.
(y/x)*4 = -1
Or
y = -4x.........(2).
Put y = -4x in
(1):
x^2+(-4x)^2 = 17
17x^2 =
1
x ^2 = 1.
x =
sqrt1.
x = 1 or x= -1.
When x
= 1, y = -4x = -4*1 = -4, gives the position of rotation of 90 degree clockwise
direction.
When x = -1 , y = -(-1) = 4.
Or
B(x, y) = B ( -1 , 4) is the position of A(1,4) after
90 degree anti clockwise rotation.
