Answer 1

To rotate a point (x, y) 180 degrees counterclockwise around the origin, the new coordinates can be calculated using the transformation:

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

For the point (−4, −6):

\[
x' = -(-4) = 4
\]
\[
y' = -(-6) = 6
\]

Thus, the new point after rotating (−4, −6) 180 degrees counterclockwise is (4, 6).

The correct response is:

(4, 6)
