A triangle has the coordinates (−3, 4), (−4, 7), and (−2, 7) at its vertices. The transformed triangle has the coordinates (−4, −3), (−7, −4), and (−7, −2) at its vertices.


Are the triangle and its transformation congruent? Why or why not?

ANo, the transformation is a 90° clockwise rotation.

BNo, the transformation is a 180° clockwise rotation.

CYes, the transformation is a 270° clockwise rotation.

DYes, the transformation is a 360° clockwise rotation.

First draw an x-y plane and plot the coordinates  (−3, 4), (−4, 7), and (−2, 7) for the first triangle. Then, plot the coordinates (−4, −3), (−7, −4), and (−7, −2) for the second triangle. Examine the graph and then identify if it is congruent or not and measure it's rotation. 

The answer is C. Yes, the transformation is a 270 degree clockwise rotation.
