Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem of rotating point A 180° about the origin, we apply the rotation rule for 180°:
Rotation of 180° about the origin: For any point , after rotating 180°, the new coordinates become .
Now, let's locate point A on the graph. Point A is currently at .
Applying the 180° rotation:
- becomes
- becomes
Thus, after the rotation, the new coordinates of A' will be .
The correct answer is .
