A rotation in the plane is determined if we fix its center and the angle of rotation (with respect to an established orientation). If P is a point in the plane and P' is its image, the vector P'O is obtained by rotating the given angle corresponding vector PO:
The only fixed point of a rotation if the center. Rotations preserve angles, distances and the orientation. In the figure we see what is the image of a triangle by a rotation. You can check how the rotations behave in the plane, modifying the center and angle of rotation and the vertices of the triangle.
