To find the rule that maps the point \( P(7, -2) \) to the point \( P'(-7, 2) \) after a 180° rotation about the origin, we can analyze the transformation.

When a point \( (x, y) \) is rotated 180° around the origin, the coordinates of the point transform as follows:

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

Applying this rule to the point \( P(7, -2) \):

\[ (7, -2) \rightarrow (-7, -(-2)) = (-7, 2) \]

This matches the point \( P'(-7, 2) \).

Thus, the correct mapping rule is:

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

Final Answer:

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