We rotate a point P(2, 5) by 60° about a pivot point (1, 2). The new transformed point P' would be:
- A.
(-1, 4)
- B.
(1, 4)
- C.
(1, -4)
- D.
(-4, 1)
Attempted by 20 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
As calculated using the 2D rotation formula, the precise mathematical coordinates are P'(-1.10, 4.37). When rounded to the nearest whole integer, -1.10 becomes -1 and 4.37 becomes 4.
