Rotation : This is defined as movement of a point P(x,y) in a plane by an angle θ to another position...clockwise direction, then the equivalent angle in counter clockwise direction is given by (360-θ). In these rotation in counter clockwise direction, the new position of Q(x₁,y₁), is given by: (x₁...
