Points A and B are at (1 ,1 )(1,1) and (4 ,7 )(4,7), respectively. Point A is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by (3pi)/2 3π2 and dilated about point C by a factor of 2 2. If point A is now at point B, what are the coordinates of point C?

C=(-2,-9)C=(2,9)

Explanation:

"under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of "(3pi)/2under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of 3π2

• " a point "(x,y)to(y,-x) a point (x,y)(y,x)

rArrA(1,1)toA'(1,-1)" where A' is the image of A"

rArrvec(CB)=color(red)(2)vec(CA')

rArrulb-ulc=2(ula'-ulc)

rArrulb-ulc=2ula'-2ulc

rArrulc=2ula'-ulb

color(white)(rArrulc)=2((1),(-1))-((4),(7))

color(white)(rArrulc)=((2),(-2))-((4),(7))=((-2),(-9))

rArrC=(-2,-9)
