Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks for the image of the point after a 180° clockwise rotation.
To solve this, we can use the formula for rotating a point 180° around the origin. For any point , a 180° rotation will map it to .
Steps:
- The original point is .
- After a 180° clockwise (or counterclockwise, since they are the same for 180°) rotation, the coordinates of the new point will be:
So, the image of after a 180° rotation is .
The correct answer is F'(2, -7) (the orange option).

- Can you explain the general rule for rotating a point by any angle?
Tip: A 180° rotation always maps a point to its opposite quadrant while flipping the signs of both coordinates.
