The problem asks for a rotation of the triangle 180° about the origin. Let’s go through the steps to solve it:

1. Identify the Coordinates:

   • The vertices of the triangle are labeled as $G$, $T$, and $X$. Let's determine their coordinates.
   • From the graph:
     • $G$ is at approximately $(4, -2)$.
     • $T$ is at approximately $(2, -4)$.
     • $X$ is at approximately $(6, 4)$.

2. Apply the 180° Rotation Rule:

   • Rotating a point 180° about the origin changes its coordinates according to the rule: $(x, y) \to (-x, -y)$
   • Using this rule, let’s determine the new coordinates for each point:
     • $G(4, -2) \to G'(-4, 2)$
     • $T(2, -4) \to T'(-2, 4)$
     • $X(6, 4) \to X'(-6, -4)$

3. Plot the Rotated Points:

   • Now plot the new points on the graph:
     • $G'$ at $(-4, 2)$
     • $T'$ at $(-2, 4)$
     • $X'$ at $(-6, -4)$
   • Connect these points to form the rotated triangle.

4. Final Triangle:

   • After connecting the new points, you will have a triangle that is the 180° rotated image of the original triangle about the origin.

Tip

When performing rotations, always try to visualize or use graph paper to help you keep track of how each point moves, which can make transformations much clearer.
