Given a point (−6, 4) in a line segment, what is the new point when the line segment is rotated counterclockwise about the origin 180 degrees?(1 point)

1 answer

To rotate a point about the origin counterclockwise, we need to change the sign of the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the point and keep the signs the same.

The given point is (-6, 4).

To rotate counterclockwise by 180 degrees, we change the sign of both coordinates, giving us (6, -4).

Therefore, the new point when the line segment is rotated counterclockwise about the origin 180 degrees is (6, -4).
