What is the new point after rotating the point (3,−5) 180° clockwise

1 answer

To rotate a point \( (x, y) \) by \( 180^\circ \) clockwise, the formula used is to simply negate both coordinates.

Starting with the point \( (3, -5) \):

  • The new coordinates after a \( 180^\circ \) rotation are:

\[ (-x, -y) = (-3, 5) \]

Thus, the new point after rotating \( (3, -5) \) \( 180^\circ \) clockwise is \( (-3, 5) \).
