Answer 1

To rotate a point 180 degrees counterclockwise, the new coordinates of a point \((x, y)\) become \((-x, -y)\).

For the point \((-4, -6)\):

• The x-coordinate changes from -4 to 4.
• The y-coordinate changes from -6 to 6.

Therefore, the new point after a 180-degree rotation is:

\((4, 6)\).

So the correct response is:

(4, 6)
