The new coordinates of point A after a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation can be found by switching the signs of the x and y coordinates.
Therefore, the new coordinates of point A would be (-2, -6).
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. A triangle A B C is plotted on the graph. The triangle A B C has its vertices marked with closed points at A left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis, B left parenthesis 6 comma 4 right parenthesis, and C left parenthesis 2 comma 2 right parenthesis.
Given point A(2, 6) on the triangle, what are the new coordinates of the point after the triangle is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise?
(1 point)
