The best way is this:

Draw a line from the point closest to the origin to the actual origin. Rotate the line however many degrees you are told, whichever way you are told. After you have the point closest to the origin rotated, you can either rotate the other points the same way or just draw them in based on where the other point lies.

Another way, sort of the cheater way, is to just take a piece of tracing paper and trace the figure onto it. Hold it down by pressing your pencil on the tracing paper where the origin is, and rotating it however many degrees, whichever way you are told.

This is for ROTATE. To reflect just use the opposite signs on the coordinates.

How do you rotate a figure 90 degrees counter clockwise then reflect over y axis?

I dont really know if this is right but i think to do this problem you have to take a point then rotate the paper counter clockwise around the origin then you have a new point which is called a prime. Then reflect it over the y axis on the graph.

How do you you rotate a figure 90 degrees clockwise about the origin?

Take any one point on the figure. Draw a line from it to the origin. At the origin measure an angle of 90 degrees (right angle) in a clockwise direction. Draw a line from the origin at this new angle and of the same length as the original angle. Repeat this process for the other points in the figure. NB Be careful, there will be numerous lines from the origin. At the end points of the new lines, connect up to reveal the origin figure ,but rotated 90 degrees - clockwise.

the difference is that in translation you slide the figure and in reflection you reflect the figure across the reflection line :)


How do you rotate a figure 180 degrees clockwise about origin?

To rotate a figure 180 degrees clockwise about the origin you need to take all of the coordinates of the figure and change the sign of the x-coordinates to the opposite sign(positive to negative or negative to positive). You then do the same with the y-coordinates and plot the resulting coordinates to get your rotated figure.
