A triangle with vertices A(5,3), B(1,-4) and C(-3,1) is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about vertex B. Find the co-ordinates of the image of vertex A.
Here's one way to do this...but maybe not the most efficient
Move "B" to the origin ....so ( 1 - 1, - 4 + 4) = (0, 0)
Apply the same transformation to "A" and we have
(5 -1, 3 + 4) = ( 4, 7)
Rotating this point 90° counter-clockwise produces (-7, 4)
Now.......reverse the original transformation and we have
(-7 + 1, 4 - 4) = (-6, 0) = A'

Formula Rotation:→A′=(→A−→Brotation axis)⋅D+→Brotation axis→A before rotation→A′ after rotation→Brotation axis at (1−4) ↶Dφ=(cos(φ)sin(φ)−sin(φ)cos(φ)) Matrix of rotation counterclockwise↶D90∘=(cos(90∘)sin(90∘)−sin(90∘)−cos(90∘))=(01−10)
Formula Rotation:→A′=(→A−→Brotation axis)⋅D+→Brotation axis→A′=((53)−(1−4))⋅(01−10)+(1−4)=(47)⋅(01−10)+(1−4)=(−74)+(1−4)=(−60)
