Given a point (-6,4) on a geometric figure, what is the new point when tje figure is rotated counterclockwise about the origin 180 degrees
To rotate a point counterclockwise about the origin by 180 degrees, we need to find the new coordinates of the point.
Let's denote the original point as P(x, y) = (-6, 4).
To rotate a point counterclockwise by 180 degrees, we will use the following transformation:
(x', y') = (-x, -y)
Applying this transformation to point P, we get:
(x', y') = (-(-6), -(4)) = (6, -4)
Therefore, the new point after rotating P counterclockwise about the origin by 180 degrees is (6, -4).
