Given a point (1, 2) on a geometric figure what is the new point when the figure is rotated clockwise about the origin 180 degrees
When a point is rotated clockwise about the origin by 180 degrees, the x-coordinate becomes its negative and the y-coordinate becomes its negative as well.
So, if the point is (1, 2) and we rotate it clockwise by 180 degrees:
The x-coordinate becomes -1 and the y-coordinate becomes -2.
Therefore, the new point is (-1, -2).
