Answer:

Only option C is correct, i.e. A’B’ and AB are equal in length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the graph of line AB and it says to rotate it 270 degrees counter-clockwise.

From the graph, the coordinates of A and B are as follows:-

A(1, 3) and B(5, 3)

The rule for 270 degrees counterclockwise rotation is as follows:-

Rotation₂₇₀ (x, y) → (y, -x)

So A(1, 3) → A'(3, -1) and B(5, 3) → B'(3, -5)

Finding slope of AB = (3-3)/(5-1) = 0

Finding slope of A'B' = (-5+1)/(3-3) = ∞

It means AB and A'B' are NOT parallel, but perpendicular lines.

Finding length of AB = (5-1) = 4.

Finding length of A'B' = (-1+5) = 4.

It means Length AB = Length A'B'.

Hence only option C is correct, i.e. A’B’ and AB are equal in length.
