rotate the point (2, 4) on a geometric figure 180° clockwise. What is the new point?
a. (4, -2)
b. (-4, -2)
c. (-2, -4)
d. (-4, 2)
To rotate a point 180° clockwise, we can multiply the x-coordinate by -1 and the y-coordinate by -1.
Using this, we can determine the new coordinates:
x' = -1 * 2 = -2
y' = -1 * 4 = -4
Therefore, the new point is (-2, -4).
So, the correct answer is c. (-2, -4).
