How do we Graph Rotations ?

Describing Rotations -
1) Angle of rotation
2) a direction (clockwise or counterclockwise )
3) center of rotation
       
when solving for a rotation you may also be able to use a formula ; i prefer the formula :

90 degrees -
(A,B)------->(-B,A)

180 degrees -
(A,B)-------->(-A,-B)

270 degrees -
(A,B)-------->(B,-A)

note :
   Whenever the problem does not state it is clockwise it is automatically counter clockwise , but the the formula will switch the problem for you automatically .
