A robot arm PQ with end coordinates P(0,0) and Q(2,5) rotates counter clockwise about P in the X Y plane by 90°. The new coordinate pair of the end point is
- (-2,5)
- (-5,2)
- (-5,-2)
- (2,-5)
Correct answer: (-5,2)
Solution
When the robot arm PQ rotates counterclockwise by 90° around point P(0,0), the coordinates of point Q(2,5) transform according to the rotation matrix for 90° counterclockwise, resulting in the new coordinates (-5,2).
