Question

If the triangle below is rotated 90∘ counterclockwise, which of the following coordinates is correct?

The options below represent different points and their coordinates on a coordinate plane:

- The coordinate of point K' is \((-3, -5)\).
- The coordinate of point K' is \((5, -3)\).
- The coordinate of point J' is \((-2, 0)\).
- The coordinate of point L' is \((0, -4)\).

Each option is a potential choice represented by a radio button, indicating a typical multiple-choice format. There are no graphs or diagrams to explain.

**If the triangle below is rotated 90° counterclockwise, which of the following coordinates is correct?**

This graph displays a coordinate plane with a triangle formed by three vertices labeled J, K, and L. The x and y axes intersect at the origin (0,0).

**Vertex Coordinates:**
- Point J is located at (-2, 2).
- Point K is located at (3, 5).
- Point L is located at (4, 0).

To solve the problem, we need to determine the new coordinates of each vertex after a 90° counterclockwise rotation. This transformation involves swapping the coordinates and changing the sign of the new x-coordinate:

For a point (x, y), the new coordinates after a 90° counterclockwise rotation would be (-y, x).

**New Coordinates:**
- Point J (-2, 2) becomes (-2, -2).
- Point K (3, 5) becomes (-5, 3).
- Point L (4, 0) becomes (0, 4). 

Thus, the correct new coordinates after the rotation should be calculated and verified as described.
