Answer :

To find the center and angle of rotation based on the given transformation of points, we need to follow a series of geometric transformations. Let's break down the problem step-by-step.

### 1. Determine the Center of Rotation

#### Given:
- Point A = (7, -2) is mapped to A' = (6, 1)
- Point B = (2, 3)

A rotation transformation is represented as:
[tex]\[ A' = C + R(A - C) \][/tex]

Where:
- [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the center of rotation [tex]\((x, y)\)[/tex]
- [tex]\( R \)[/tex] is the rotation matrix
[tex]\[ R = \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\theta) & -\sin(\theta) \\ \sin(\theta) & \cos(\theta) \end{pmatrix} \][/tex]
- [tex]\( (A - C) \)[/tex] is the vector from the center of rotation to the original point

From the equation [tex]\( A' = C + R(A - C) \)[/tex], we need to solve for [tex]\( C \)[/tex].

Let [tex]\( A = (7, -2) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( A' = (6, 1) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\theta) & -\sin(\theta) \\ \sin(\theta) & \cos(\theta) \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 7 - x \\ -2 - y \end{pmatrix} \][/tex]

This gives us two equations:

1. [tex]\( 6 = x + ((7 - x)\cos(\theta) - (-2 - y)\sin(\theta)) \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( 1 = y + ((7 - x)\sin(\theta) + (-2 - y)\cos(\theta)) \)[/tex]

However, to find [tex]\( C \)[/tex], it's easier using the midpoint method because the midpoint of [tex]\( A \)[/tex] and [tex]\( A' \)[/tex] must be equidistant from the center of rotation when using a 90° or 270° rotation (common simple rotations).

Thus:
[tex]\[ \text{Midpoint of } A \text{ and } A': \left( \frac{7+6}{2}, \frac{-2+1}{2} \right) = (6.5, -0.5) \][/tex]

So, the rough midpoint calculation gives us an idea but knowing exact rotation would determine the exact center. For now, let's assume:

[tex]\[ C = (6.5, -0.5) \][/tex]

We'll refine this through the angle of rotation.

### 2. Determine the Positive Angle of Rotation

#### Using Point B and assuming the Center C:

Let's validate and use the point [tex]\( B = (2, 3) \)[/tex] along with the midpoint heuristic. Consider point [tex]\( C = (6.5, -0.5) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ B' = C + R(B - C) \][/tex]

First, vector [tex]\( B - C \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} 6.5 \\ -0.5 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -4.5 \\ 3.5 \end{pmatrix} \][/tex]

Assuming 90° Rotation, [tex]\( B' \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ R(90°) = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \][/tex]

So:
[tex]\[ R \begin{pmatrix} -4.5 \\ 3.5 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -3.5 \\ -4.5 \end{pmatrix} \][/tex]

[tex]\[B' = \begin{pmatrix} 6.5 \\ -0.5 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -3.5 \\ -4.5 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} \][/tex]

Thus:
- [tex]\( Center \, (C) = (6.5, -0.5) \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( Positive \, Angle \, of \, Rotation = 90° \)[/tex]

In summary:
#### (i) Center of Rotation: [tex]\( (6.5, -0.5) \)[/tex]
#### (ii) Positive Angle of Rotation: [tex]\(90°\)[/tex]
