Given a point (1, 2)
on a geometric figure, what is the new point when the figure is rotated clockwise about the origin 180 degrees?(1 point)

Answer 1

To perform a 180-degree rotation clockwise about the origin, you can use the rule that for any point \((x, y)\), the new coordinates after a 180-degree rotation will be \((-x, -y)\).

Given the point \((1, 2)\):

• The new coordinates after the rotation will be: \[ (-1, -2) \]

So, the new point after the 180-degree rotation of \((1, 2)\) about the origin is \((-1, -2)\).
