Rotating Around Points
DIRECTIONS:
In the GeoGebra applet below:
1) Create a slider that is an angle.
Set Min = 0 degrees. Set Max = 360 degrees. Set Increment = 1 degree.
2) Choose the ROTATE AROUND POINT 
tool.
Highlight a box around point A, point B, and Daffy Duck's pic.
Select point C as the point about which to rotate the items you've just selected.
For angle, go to the menu on the right and choose (we call that symbol Alpha).
3) Select the MOVE tool.
4) Move the slider right and left. Note the images of points A and B (denoted as A' and B').
Feel free to move points A and B around as well.
After doing all this, please answer the questions that appear below the applet.

After doing all this, please answer the questions that appear below the applet. 1.
Let C = (0,0) be the point about which points A and B (and Daffy Duck) are rotated. Place point A at (2, 3) and point B at (5, 1). Set . What are the coordinates (x, y) of the image of A? What are the coordinates (x, y) of the image of B?
