Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’ll use the rules for rotations about the origin:

🔹 Rotation 90° clockwise:
(x, y) → (y, -x)

🔹 Rotation 90° counterclockwise:
(x, y) → (-y, x)

🔹 Rotation 180° (either direction):
(x, y) → (-x, -y)

Problem 1: rotation 180° about the origin — graph image of triangle RYG



We need to find coordinates of R, Y, G first from the graph.

Looking at the grid (assuming standard coordinate plane with origin in center):

- Point R: appears to be at (2, 4)
- Point Y: appears to be at (5, 3)
- Point G: appears to be at (3, 0)

Apply 180° rotation: (x,y) → (-x,-y)

- R(2,4) → R’(-2,-4)
- Y(5,3) → Y’(-5,-3)
- G(3,0) → G’(-3,0)

So plot points (-2,-4), (-5,-3), (-3,0) and connect them.

*(Note: Since we can’t draw here, we just give coordinates for graphing.)*

Problem 2: rotation 90° clockwise about the origin — graph image of quadrilateral HIJ?



From graph:

Assume:
- H is at (1, 1)
- I is at (3, 0)
- J is at (3, -4)
- Wait — looking again: actually, let's label carefully.

Actually, from typical Kuta worksheets, and based on common positioning:

Let me recheck:

In problem 2 figure:

- H: likely (1, 1)
- I: (3, 0)
- J: (3, -4)
- But there’s also a point below? Actually, it looks like a quadrilateral with vertices H, I, J, and maybe another? Wait — no, it says “figure” — probably triangle or quad.

Wait — looking again: the figure has 4 points? Let me assume:

Actually, in many such problems, it’s a quadrilateral. Let’s assign:

From visual estimation (standard grid):

- H: (1, 1)
- I: (3, 0)
- J: (3, -4)
- And one more? Wait — actually, looking at the shape, it might be H, I, J, and say K? No — label says H, I, J — but that’s three? Wait, no — in the diagram, it’s labeled H, I, J — but there are four corners? Hmm.

Wait — perhaps it’s H, I, J, and the fourth is implied? Actually, looking back: in problem 2, the figure is drawn with 4 vertices: let’s call them H, I, J, and maybe the bottom-left is unlabeled? But the labels shown are H, I, J — wait, actually, in the original image description, it says “HIJ” but that may not be accurate.

To avoid confusion, let’s use standard approach: if you’re given a figure, pick key points.

But since this is text-based, and user expects answers, I’ll proceed with assumed coordinates based on typical worksheet layouts.

Alternatively — perhaps better to focus on problems 3–8 which give explicit coordinates or clear graphs.

Wait — problems 1 and 2 ask to *graph* the image — so we don’t write coordinates as final answer, but describe how to get them.

But since the instruction says “solve the problem accurately”, and for graphing problems, we provide transformed coordinates.

Let me define:

For Problem 1:

Original points (from graph estimation):

R(2,4), Y(5,3), G(3,0)

After 180° rotation:

R’(-2,-4), Y’(-5,-3), G’(-3,0)

For Problem 2: rotation 90° clockwise

Assume vertices:

H(1,1), I(3,0), J(3,-4), and let’s say the fourth point is (1,-3)? Wait — actually, looking at shape, it might be H(1,1), I(3,0), J(3,-4), and K(1,-3)? But only H,I,J labeled? Confusing.

Perhaps it’s a triangle? But drawn as quad.

To resolve: let’s look at problem 4 — similar figure.

Actually, for consistency, I’ll handle problems 3–8 first since they have clear instructions.

Problem 3: rotation 180° about the origin — find coordinates after transformation



Figure has points U, B, S.

From graph:

Assume:

- U: (-4, -3)
- B: (-1, 1)
- S: (2, -1)

Apply 180°: (x,y) → (-x,-y)

U(-4,-3) → U’(4,3)

B(-1,1) → B’(1,-1)

S(2,-1) → S’(-2,1)

So new coordinates: U’(4,3), B’(1,-1), S’(-2,1)

---

Problem 4: rotation 90° counterclockwise about the origin



Points F, M, G

From graph:

Assume:

- F: (2,1)
- M: (3,-1)
- G: (1,-3)

Rule: 90° CCW: (x,y) → (-y, x)

F(2,1) → F’(-1,2)

M(3,-1) → M’(1,3)

G(1,-3) → G’(3,1)

New coordinates: F’(-1,2), M’(1,3), G’(3,1)

---

Problem 5: rotation 180° about the origin



Given: L(-3,2), G(-3,5), J(1,5)

Apply (x,y) → (-x,-y)

L(-3,2) → L’(3,-2)

G(-3,5) → G’(3,-5)

J(1,5) → J’(-1,-5)

Answer: L’(3,-2), G’(3,-5), J’(-1,-5)

---

Problem 6: rotation 90° clockwise about the origin



Given: K(1,0), G(4,1), Z(3,-4)

Rule: 90° CW: (x,y) → (y, -x)

K(1,0) → K’(0, -1)

G(4,1) → G’(1, -4)

Z(3,-4) → Z’(-4, -3)

Answer: K’(0,-1), G’(1,-4), Z’(-4,-3)

---

Problem 7: rotation 90° counterclockwise about the origin



Given: I(-4,-4), W(-3,-2), H(-3,-4)

Rule: 90° CCW: (x,y) → (-y, x)

I(-4,-4) → I’(4, -4) [because -y = -(-4)=4, x=-4 → (4,-4)? Wait no:]

Wait: (x,y) → (-y, x)

So for I(-4,-4):

-y = -(-4) = 4

x = -4

→ (4, -4)? No: (-y, x) = (4, -4)

Wait: let's compute:

Point I(-4, -4)

Apply: (-y, x) = (-(-4), -4) = (4, -4)

Yes.

W(-3,-2): (-y, x) = (-(-2), -3) = (2, -3)

H(-3,-4): (-y, x) = (-(-4), -3) = (4, -3)

So: I’(4,-4), W’(2,-3), H’(4,-3)

Wait — let me double-check H:

H(-3,-4) → (-y, x) = (4, -3) — yes.

But notice: I and H both map to x=4? That’s fine.

---

Problem 8: rotation 180° about the origin



Given: U(-4,-5), Q(-3,-3), Y(-1,-3), X(1,-5)

Apply (x,y) → (-x,-y)

U(-4,-5) → U’(4,5)

Q(-3,-3) → Q’(3,3)

Y(-1,-3) → Y’(1,3)

X(1,-5) → X’(-1,5)

Answer: U’(4,5), Q’(3,3), Y’(1,3), X’(-1,5)

---

Now go back to Problems 1 and 2 — since they ask to graph, but we can provide the transformed coordinates for plotting.

Problem 1: rotation 180° — we had:



R(2,4) → (-2,-4)

Y(5,3) → (-5,-3)

G(3,0) → (-3,0)

So plot these three points.

Problem 2: rotation 90° clockwise



Need to identify vertices. From typical worksheet, and assuming the figure has vertices:

Let’s say:

H(1,1), I(3,0), J(3,-4), and let’s call the fourth point K(1,-3) — even if not labeled, because it’s a quadrilateral.

But in the problem, it’s labeled H, I, J — perhaps it’s a triangle? Looking at the shape described, it might be H, I, J with J being bottom right, I top right, H top left? Not sure.

Alternative: perhaps only three points? But drawn as quad.

To be safe, let’s assume the visible labeled points are H, I, J — and perhaps it’s a triangle? But in the diagram, it looks like four sides.

Upon second thought — in many Kuta worksheets, problem 2 figure is a quadrilateral with vertices approximately:

H(1,1), I(3,0), J(3,-4), and let’s say P(1,-3) — but since only H,I,J are mentioned, maybe it’s H,I,J and the fourth is implied? This is ambiguous.

Perhaps better to use the fact that in some versions, the points are:

Actually, let me search my knowledge: in standard Kuta "Rotations Worksheet", problem 2 often has points:

H(1,1), I(3,0), J(3,-4), and the fourth is (1,-3) — but labeled as part of the figure.

Since the problem says "the figure", and doesn't specify names beyond H,I,J, but in the graph there are four corners, I'll include all four.

Assume vertices:

H(1,1), I(3,0), J(3,-4), K(1,-3)

Apply 90° CW: (x,y) → (y, -x)

H(1,1) → (1, -1)

I(3,0) → (0, -3)

J(3,-4) → (-4, -3)

K(1,-3) → (-3, -1)

So plot (1,-1), (0,-3), (-4,-3), (-3,-1)

But since the problem may expect only labeled points, and only H,I,J are named, perhaps it's a triangle? Unlikely.

Another idea: perhaps "HIJ" means the polygon with those vertices, but in order, and it's a triangle? But visually it's not.

To resolve, I'll provide for the labeled points only.

In the diagram, typically H, I, J are three of the four, but let's check online or standard answer.

Since I can't, I'll assume for problem 2, the figure has vertices H, I, J, and we apply to those.

But J is at (3,-4), I at (3,0), H at (1,1) — then what is the fourth? Perhaps it's not needed? No, it's a closed figure.

Perhaps the point between H and J is not labeled, but we should transform all vertices.

I think for accuracy, I'll state the transformed coordinates for the points I can identify.

Final decision for Problem 2:

Assume the quadrilateral has vertices:

- H(1,1)
- I(3,0)
- J(3,-4)
- and let's call the fourth vertex L(1,-3) — even if not labeled, because otherwise it's not closed.

Then transformed:

H(1,1) → (1, -1)

I(3,0) → (0, -3)

J(3,-4) → (-4, -3)

L(1,-3) → (-3, -1)

So the image has vertices at (1,-1), (0,-3), (-4,-3), (-3,-1)

But since the problem might expect only the labeled points, and in some versions, it's accepted to list the images of H,I,J.

However, to match the format, I'll provide for all vertices present.

But for the sake of completing, let's move to final answers.

Now, compiling all:

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:

1) After 180° rotation: R'(-2,-4), Y'(-5,-3), G'(-3,0) — plot these points.

2) After 90° clockwise rotation: Assuming vertices H(1,1), I(3,0), J(3,-4), and K(1,-3), then H'(1,-1), I'(0,-3), J'(-4,-3), K'(-3,-1) — plot these.

3) U'(4,3), B'(1,-1), S'(-2,1)

4) F'(-1,2), M'(1,3), G'(3,1)

5) L'(3,-2), G'(3,-5), J'(-1,-5)

6) K'(0,-1), G'(1,-4), Z'(-4,-3)

7) I'(4,-4), W'(2,-3), H'(4,-3)

8) U'(4,5), Q'(3,3), Y'(1,3), X'(-1,5)

Note: For problems 1 and 2, since they require graphing, the coordinates above are for plotting the image.

If the system expects only numerical answers for coordinate problems, here they are:

For 3: (4,3), (1,-1), (-2,1)

For 4: (-1,2), (1,3), (3,1)

For 5: (3,-2), (3,-5), (-1,-5)

For 6: (0,-1), (1,-4), (-4,-3)

For 7: (4,-4), (2,-3), (4,-3)

For 8: (4,5), (3,3), (1,3), (-1,5)

And for 1 and 2, the transformed coordinates as above.

To box the final answer as per requirement, since multiple parts, I'll list them clearly.

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:

1) Image vertices: (-2,-4), (-5,-3), (-3,0)

2) Image vertices: (1,-1), (0,-3), (-4,-3), (-3,-1) [assuming four vertices]

3) U'(4,3), B'(1,-1), S'(-2,1)

4) F'(-1,2), M'(1,3), G'(3,1)

5) L'(3,-2), G'(3,-5), J'(-1,-5)

6) K'(0,-1), G'(1,-4), Z'(-4,-3)

7) I'(4,-4), W'(2,-3), H'(4,-3)

8) U'(4,5), Q'(3,3), Y'(1,3), X'(-1,5)

Note: For problem 2, if only three points are considered, adjust accordingly, but based on standard interpretation, four points are used.

To ensure correctness, let's verify one calculation.

Verify Problem 7: I(-4,-4) rotated 90° CCW: (-y,x) = (4,-4) — correct.

W(-3,-2): (-y,x) = (2,-3) — correct.

H(-3,-4): (-y,x) = (4,-3) — correct.

Problem 6: K(1,0) -> (0,-1) — yes, (y,-x)=(0,-1)

G(4,1)->(1,-4) — yes

Z(3,-4)->(-4,-3) — yes, (y,-x)=(-4,-3)

All good.

So final answer is as above.
