An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. A triangle A B C is plotted on the graph. The triangle A B C has its vertices marked with closed points at A left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis, B left parenthesis 6 comma 4 right parenthesis, and C left parenthesis 2 comma 2 right parenthesis.
Given point A(2, 6)
on the triangle, what are the new coordinates of the point after the triangle is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise?

1 answer
To rotate a point \( (x, y) \) 180 degrees counterclockwise around the origin, the new coordinates become \( (-x, -y) \).
Given point A(2, 6):
Thus, the new coordinates of point A after the rotation are:
\[ (-2, -6) \]
So the answer is \((-2, -6)\).
