- The original square CDEF has vertices at C(2, 2), D(9, 2), E(9, 9), and F(2, 9).
- A 270° clockwise rotation around the origin is equivalent to a 90° counterclockwise rotation.
- The rule for a 90° counterclockwise rotation around the origin is (x, y) → (-y, x).
- Apply the transformation to each vertex:
- C(2, 2) → C'(-2, 2)
- D(9, 2) → D'(-2, 9)
- E(9, 9) → E'(-9, 9)
- F(2, 9) → F'(-9, 2)
- Plot the new points C'(-2, 2), D'(-2, 9), E'(-9, 9), and F'(-9, 2) on the coordinate plane.
- Connect the points in order: C' to D', D' to E', E' to F', and F' to C' to form the rotated square.
