To rotate a point (x, y) 180° counterclockwise about the origin, we can use the following formulas:
x' = -x
y' = -y
In this case, the point (-6, 2) becomes:
x' = -(-6) = 6
y' = -(2) = -2
Therefore, the image of the point (-6, 2) after a rotation of 180° counterclockwise about the origin is (6, -2).
What is the image of the point (-6, 2) after a rotation of 180°counterclockwise about the origin?
