Rotations Name_______________________

Sometimes we rotate about points that are not the origin

You Try:
Rotate the  180 about the origin 3.) Rotate point B(2, -3) 90º CW about (-1, 1)

Formula: (x, y)  ______________________

Rotating 90 CW or 270 CCW about the origin

4.) Okay, have your answer? Let’s see if you were
Formula: (x, y)  ______________________ right. Rotate point B(2, -3) 90º CW about (-1, 1)

Rotating 90 CCW or 270 CW about the origin

Formula: (x, y)  ______________________

5&6) Try to get the answer before you use the
coordinate plane:
1.) Rotate point A(-2, 3) 90º CW about the origin
5.) Rotate point C(3, 3) 180° about point R(1, 1)

It is important to state which point you want

something rotated!

2.) Rotate point A(-2, 3) 90º CW about (4, 1)

Step 1: Subtract center of 6.) Rotate point C(-5, 4) 90° CW about point R(-4, -2)
rotation from original
point. Why?
Think about how you got
to your new center from
the point (0, 0). You have
to “undo” those
movements.

Step 2: Perform the

formula for the rotation.

7.) Rotate point D( -10, 9) 180° CW about (-3, 2)

Step 3: Add center to the
new point.
8.) Rotate point E(-3, -4) 90º CW about (8, -6)

9.) Rotate point F(4, 7) 270° CW about (-2, 7)

Rotating Points
1-3) Rotate A around the point P 6.) Rotate point B(2, -1) 90º CW 10.) Rotate point C(-2, 4) 90° CW
90 CW about (-1, 1) about the origin
1.)

7.) Rotate point C(5, 2) 180° about

the origin

2.)
11.) Rotate point C(-5, 4) 90° CW
about point R(1, 1)

3.)
8.) Rotate point C(5, 2) 180° about
point R(3, 1)

12.) Rotate point A around P 90°

CCW

4.) Rotate point A(-2, 3) 90º CW

about the origin

9.) Rotate point C(-5, 2) 180° about

point R(-1, 1)
13.) Rotate point A around P 90°
5.) Rotate point A(-2, 3) 90º CW CCW
about (4, 1)
