Question 12
A potter is creating a design for a red-colored urn. He starts with the design shown on the coordinate grid.
The design is rotated about the line x = 1 to produce the shape of the urn. Finish the potter's design by drawing a picture of what the urn looks like. In your picture, include a properly labeled coordinate plane and the line x = 1.
