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 point)

1 answer

To find the new coordinates of point A(2, 6) after a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation around the origin, you can use the following transformation rule:

For a 180-degree rotation, the coordinates (x, y) transform to (-x, -y).

Given point A(2, 6):

  1. Apply the transformation:
    • x' = -x = -2
    • y' = -y = -6

So, the new coordinates after the rotation are A'(-2, -6).
