When a point \((x, y)\) is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by 180 degrees, the new coordinates of the point will be \((-x, -y)\).
For example:
- If the original point is \((3, 4)\), after a 180-degree rotation, the new point will be \((-3, -4)\).
- If the original point is \((-2, 5)\), after the rotation, the new point will be \((2, -5)\).
This transformation effectively reflects the point across the origin.
