One vertex of a polygon is located at [tex]\((3, -2)\)[/tex]. After a rotation, the vertex is located at [tex]\((2, 3)\)[/tex].

Which transformations could have taken place? Select two options.

A. [tex]\(R_{0, 90^{\circ}}\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\(R_{0, 180^{\circ}}\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(R_{0, 270^{\circ}}\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(R_{0, -90^{\circ}}\)[/tex]
E. [tex]\(R_{0, -270^{\circ}}\)[/tex]

Sagot :

To determine which transformations could have taken place, let's consider the different rotations around the origin and their effects on the coordinates of a point.

We initially have a vertex at [tex]\((3, -2)\)[/tex] and, after rotation, it is located at [tex]\((2, 3)\)[/tex].

### Step-by-Step Transformation Checks

1. Rotation by [tex]\(90^\circ\)[/tex]:
- Formula: [tex]\((x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x)\)[/tex]
- Applying it to [tex]\((3, -2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (3, -2) \rightarrow (2, 3) \][/tex]
- This matches the rotated vertex [tex]\((2, 3)\)[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\(R_{0,90^{\circ}}\)[/tex] is a possibility.

2. Rotation by [tex]\(180^\circ\)[/tex]:
- Formula: [tex]\((x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)\)[/tex]
- Applying it to [tex]\((3, -2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (3, -2) \rightarrow (-3, 2) \][/tex]
- This does not match the rotated vertex [tex]\((2, 3)\)[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\(R_{0,180^{\circ}}\)[/tex] is not a valid solution.

3. Rotation by [tex]\(270^\circ\)[/tex]:
- Formula: [tex]\((x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)\)[/tex]
- Applying it to [tex]\((3, -2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (3, -2) \rightarrow (-2, -3) \][/tex]
- This does not match the rotated vertex [tex]\((2, 3)\)[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\(R_{0,270^{\circ}}\)[/tex] is not a valid solution.

4. Rotation by [tex]\(-90^\circ\)[/tex]:
- Formula: [tex]\((x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)\)[/tex]
- Applying it to [tex]\((3, -2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (3, -2) \rightarrow (-2, -3) \][/tex]
- This does not match the rotated vertex [tex]\((2, 3)\)[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\(R_{0,-90^{\circ}}\)[/tex] is not a valid solution.

5. Rotation by [tex]\(-270^\circ\)[/tex]:
- Formula: [tex]\((x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x)\)[/tex]
- Applying it to [tex]\((3, -2)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (3, -2) \rightarrow (2, 3) \][/tex]
- This matches the rotated vertex [tex]\((2, 3)\)[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\(R_{0,-270^{\circ}}\)[/tex] is a possibility.

### Conclusion
The two rotations that result in the given transformation from [tex]\((3, -2)\)[/tex] to [tex]\((2, 3)\)[/tex] are:
- [tex]\(R_{0,90^{\circ}}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(R_{0,-270^{\circ}}\)[/tex]

Thus, the selected options are:
[tex]\[R_{0,90^{\circ}}\][/tex]
[tex]\[R_{0,-270^{\circ}}\][/tex]
