Math Problem Statement

What is the image of the point left parenthesis, minus, 1, comma, 9, right parenthesis(−1,9) after a rotation of 180, degrees180 ∘ counterclockwise about the origin?

Solution

To find the image of the point (1,9)(-1, 9) after a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, we can apply the standard rotation rule for 180° about the origin:

(x,y)(x,y)(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)

Step-by-step:

  1. The original point is (1,9)(-1, 9).
  2. Applying the rotation rule, we change the signs of both coordinates: (1,9)(1,9)(-1, 9) \rightarrow (1, -9)

Thus, the image of the point (1,9)(-1, 9) after a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin is (1,9)(1, -9).

Tip: Rotating points 180° about the origin always results in the coordinates changing their signs.
