When a point \((x, y)\) is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by 180 degrees, the new coordinates can be determined by using the following transformation:

\[
(x', y') = (-x, -y)
\]

This means that the \(x\) coordinate becomes its negative, and the \(y\) coordinate also becomes its negative.

So, if you start with a point \((x, y)\), after a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, the new point will be \((-x, -y)\).
