Answer 1

The transformation that maps point P(7, -2) to point P'(-7, 2) is a 180° rotation about the origin. The rule that describes this transformation is:

\((x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)\)

This means that both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate are negated. Therefore, the correct response is:

\((x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)\)
