On a coordinate plane.

Can someone give me the formulas for 90 and 180 degree rotations both clockwise and counterclockwise around the origin?

  1. to rotation 90° clockwise multiple R90 with vector X



    | 0 -1|  

    | 1  0|  =R90

    | -1 0 |

    | 0  -1| = R180

    | 0 1 |

    |-1 0 | = R270

    counterclockwise is the same just R90 is R270c  and R270 is R90c


  2. I'm not sure I understand the question. But, if you wanted to rotate a vector 90 or 180 degrees there are a few formulas that will work...

    Making y=-y and x=-x in a cartesian coordinate system will reflect it across both axes, which is the same as rotating it 180°

    Making y=-x and x=y would rotate 90°

    Test this out to make sure.

  3. 90° clockwise: (x,y)→(y,-x)

    90° counterclockwise: (x,y)→(-y,x)

    180°: (x,y)→(-x,-y)
