Question

Given point A(2, 6) on the triangle, what are the new coordinates of the point after the triangle is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise?

Answer 1

To rotate a point (x, y) 180 degrees counterclockwise around the origin, the new coordinates of the point can be found using the following formula:

New x-coordinate = -x
New y-coordinate = -y

Using point A(2, 6), the new coordinates after rotating 180 degrees counterclockwise would be:

New x-coordinate = -(2) = -2
New y-coordinate = -(6) = -6

Therefore, the new coordinates of point A after the triangle is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise are (-2, -6).
