Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. A triangle A B C is plotted on the graph. The triangle A B C has its vertices marked with closed points at A left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis, B left parenthesis 6 comma 4 right parenthesis, and C left parenthesis 2 comma 2 right parenthesis.
Given point A(2, 6) on the triangle, what are the new coordinates of the point after the triangle is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise?
(1 point)
The new coordinates of point A after a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation can be found by switching the signs of the x and y coordinates.
Therefore, the new coordinates of point A would be (-2, -6).
