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

Respuesta :

Answer:

  (-1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the coordinates of point (1, 2) after it has been rotated 180° about the origin.

180°

Rotation 180° about the origin is equivalent to reflection across the origin. The effect is to negate both coordinates:

  (x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y) . . . . . . rotation 180°, or reflection across the origin

This means ...

  (1, 2) ⇒ (-1, -2)

The new point has coordinates (-1, -2).
