Explanation:
"assuming the rotation is about the origin"assuming the rotation is about the origin
"under a clockwise rotation about the origin of "pi/2under a clockwise rotation about the origin of π2
• " a point "(x,y)to(y,-x)∙ a point (x,y)→(y,−x)
rArr(5,-2)to(-2,-5)⇒(5,−2)→(−2,−5)
rArr(2,-7)to(-7,-2)⇒(2,−7)→(−7,−2)
