Question

graph the image of m(9, -7) after a rotation 180° clockwise around the origin.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation rule

The rule for a 180 - degree clockwise rotation around the origin is $(x,y)\to(-x,-y)$.

Step2: Apply the rule to point M

Given $M(9, - 7)$, substituting $x = 9$ and $y=-7$ into the rule, we get $(-9,7)$.

Answer:

The image of $M(9,-7)$ after a 180 - degree clockwise rotation around the origin is $(-9,7)$. To graph it, locate the point $(-9,7)$ on the coordinate - plane, which is 9 units to the left of the y - axis and 7 units above the x - axis.
