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):
- x' = -(-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).
