1) Plot the points (type the ordered pair into the input bar, bottom of the page)
2) A(-4,2), B (-2,1) and C (-3, 3)
3) 
Use the polygon tool to construct the triangle ABC
4) Plot D (0,0)
5) 
Use the rotate around point tool (9th tool over, under the reflection diagram)
6) Select point D and then click on the center of Triangle ABC
7) Pop up Type in 90

If a Triangle is in quadrant 2, and we rotated the pre-image 90 degrees which quadrant would its image be in?
