Rotating Points Around the Origin
Skill:
Locate, given the coordinates of, and graph plane figures which are the results of rotations (multiples of 90 degrees) with respect to a given point.
Rotating Points Around the Origin
Rotate points around the origin and explore the coordinates of corresponding points.
