$"The new coordinates of A is (-1,5)"$

$"distance :"sqrt(90)$

$"draw A(5,1) and B(2,-4)"$

enter image source here

$(2pi)-(3pi)/2=pi/2$

$"clockwise "(3pi)/2 " equals counterclockwise "pi/2$

$"so " A(x,y) " "A'(-y,x)$

$"The new Position of A is "A'(-1,5)$

enter image source here

$"distance between B and A' can be calculated using the triangle A'DB"$

$A'B=sqrt(3^2+9^2)$

$A'B=sqrt(9+81)$

$A'B=sqrt(90)$

Point A is at (5 ,1 )(5 ,1 ) and point B is at (2 ,-4 )(2 ,-4 ). Point A is rotated (3pi)/2 (3pi)/2 clockwise about the origin. What are the new coordinates of point A and by how much has the distance between points A and B changed?
