Points A(-4,1), B(-1,4) and C(-1,1) are the vertices of triangle ABC. What will be the coordinates of the image of point A if triangle ABC is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about the origin?

one way of doing this is to note that the rotation matrix for a 90 degree clockwise rotation isR=(0110)

 

R.(x,y)=(y,x)and this is simple to apply to your pointsfor example(4,1)(1,4)I leave rotating the two other points to you
