Answer 1

To rotate a point \( (x, y) \) by \( 180^\circ \) counterclockwise around the origin, you can use the formula:

\[ (x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y) \]

For the point \( (-4, 6) \):

• \( x = -4 \)
• \( y = 6 \)

Applying the rotation:

\[ (-4, 6) \rightarrow (4, -6) \]

Therefore, the resulting point after a \( 180^\circ \) counterclockwise rotation is \( (4, -6) \).

So, the correct response is:

(4, −6)
