New coordinates of #color(brown)(A (-6, -1)#

Reduction is distance due to rotation is #color(green)( ~~ 1.52# units

enter image source here

A (1,6), B (5, -8)

From I to III quadrant

#A ((1),(6))-> A' ((-6), (-1))#

#bar(AB) = sqrt((1-5)^2 + (6-(-8))^2 = sqrt212#

#bar(A'B) = sqrt((-6-5)^2 + (-1+8)^2) = sqrt170#

Reduction is distance due to rotation is

#color(green)(sqrt212 - sqrt170 ~~ 1.52# units
