To find the image of the point Y(−2, 6) after a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, you can use the fact that a rotation of 180° changes the sign of both coordinates.

For the point Y(−2, 6):

  • The new x-coordinate will be: \(-(-2) = 2\)
  • The new y-coordinate will be: \(-6 = -6\)

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

The correct answer is Y′(2, −6)
