Answer

The angle of rotation is $\frac{\pi}{2}$ or 90 deg.

Work Step by Step

\[ A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{array}\right) \] From exercise 8 we know what the transformation does, and we have the standard matrix $A$, for $T$. 2 \[ \begin{array}{l} T\left(\mathbf{e}_{1}\right)=\mathbf{e}_{1} \\ T\left(\mathbf{e}_{2}\right)=-\mathbf{e}_{1} \end{array} \] We can show that the standard unit vector $\mathbf{e}_{1},$ is mapped to e $_{2},$ and that the standard unit vector $\mathbf{e}_{2},$ is mapped to $-\mathbf{e}_{1} .$ Both of these mappings identical to a rotation of $\frac{\pi}{2}$ or 90 deg about the origin of each component which is the angle of the rotation.
