BRAINLIEST FOR EXPLANATION (my own question) SO when you have a point on a graph, say it's at (-3,7), and you have to graph the dot after a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise around the origin, how would you know what to do?
So I know it is (x, y)--> (-y, x), but having the dot as (-7,3) wouldn't work if you followed that equation. Am I doing it right? If not, how would you apply that 'equation' to (-3,7)?

(-7, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So the formula is (x, y) --> (-y, x) for a 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation.

To apply this formula to (-3,7), first identify which is the x-coordinate and which is the y-coordinate.

x-coordinate is -3 & y-coordinate is 7

Then you literally just substitute it into the formula like so:

(-y, x) -->(-(7), (-3)) --> (-7, -3)

Try to put parantheses around the coordinate when substituting to prevent confusion & incorrect negative signs.

Hope it helps and good luck (●'◡'●)

(-7,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You could read (x,y)->(-y,x) as if I have the point (x,y), the image point is (opposite of y,x).

So shorthand the rule is just saying

(x,y)->(opposite of y, x)

(-3,7)->(-7,-3)

A few more examples:

(5,7)->(-7,5)

(-5,7)->(-7,-5)

(-5,-7)->(7-,5)

(5,-7)->(7,5)

This whole explanation comes down to reading-u as opposite of u.

Opposite just means to change the sign.

Another way to read -u is -1×u.

Example:

Q: evaluate -u if u=8

A: -8

Why? -u means -1×u or opposite or u. Take your pick in reading it. It's the same meaning just different ways of reading. -1×8=-8 or the opposite or 8 is -8.

Example:

Q: evaluate -u if u=-8

A: 8

Why? -u means -1×u or opposite or u. Take your pick in reading it. It's the same meaning just different ways of reading. -1×-8=8 or the opposite or -8 is 8.

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.

show us the triangle so we can answer it
