To find the image of point Y(−2,6) after a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, you can apply the following transformation:

For a 180° rotation about the origin, the new coordinates (x', y') of a point (x, y) are given by:

  • x' = -x
  • y' = -y

Applying this to point Y(−2, 6):

  1. x' = -(-2) = 2
  2. y' = -6

So the new coordinates for Y′ after the rotation will be Y′(2, -6).

Thus, the correct choice is: Y′(2,−6) (Y prime left parenthesis 2, negative 6 right parenthesis).
