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 after a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, we can apply the standard rotation rule for 180° about the origin:
Step-by-step:
- The original point is .
- Applying the rotation rule, we change the signs of both coordinates:
Thus, the image of the point after a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin is .
