Answer 1

To find the image of point \( Y(-2, 6) \) after a \( 180^\circ \) counterclockwise rotation about the origin, we can use the following transformation rule:

For a point \( (x, y) \), the coordinates after a \( 180^\circ \) rotation about the origin will be \( (-x, -y) \).

Applying this to point \( Y(-2, 6) \):

1. Negate the x-coordinate: \[ -(-2) = 2 \]

2. Negate the y-coordinate: \[ -(6) = -6 \]

Thus, the coordinates of \( Y' \) after the rotation are \( (2, -6) \).

So the correct response is: \[ Y'(2, -6) \]
