Question

Given a point (1, 2)
(
1
,

2
)
on a geometric figure, what is the new point when the figure is rotated clockwise about the origin 180 degrees?(1 point)

Answer 1

To rotate a point \((x, y)\) clockwise about the origin by 180 degrees, you can use the rotation transformation formula:

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

For the point \((1, 2)\):

\[
(1, 2) \rightarrow (-1, -2)
\]

Thus, the new point after a 180-degree clockwise rotation about the origin is \((-1, -2)\).
