Question

Given a point (1, 2)
on a geometric figure, what is the new point when the figure is rotated clockwise about the origin 180 degrees?(1 point)
(

Answer 1

To find the new coordinates of a point (x, y) when it is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about the origin, you can use the following transformation:

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

Given the point (1, 2), we can apply the transformation:

\[
x' = -1
\]
\[
y' = -2
\]

Thus, the new point after a 180-degree clockwise rotation about the origin is:

\[
(-1, -2)
\]

So, the answer is:

\((-1, -2)\)
