The answer will depend on whether the rotation is clockwise or counterclockwise.
Assume we want to find the ordered pair after 90° counterclockwise rotation. From (x,y), we have (-y,x). If we want to find the ordered pair after 90° clockwise rotation, then from (x,y) we have (y, -x)
Fomula(work with both clockwise/counterclockwise):(-x,-y)
A 90-degree counterclockwise rotation involves turning an object or point 90 degrees to the left around a specified pivot point. For example, if you imagine a point on a Cartesian coordinate system, moving it 90 degrees counterclockwise would shift its position from, say, (1, 0) to (0, 1). This transformation effectively swaps the x and y coordinates and changes the sign of the new x-coordinate.
Rotation preserves shape - therefore the angle before the rotation equals the angle after the rotation.
