Question

question what is the image of the point (9, 8) after a rotation of 180° counterclockwise about the origin? answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation rule

When a point $(x,y)$ is rotated 180° counter - clockwise about the origin, the new point $(x',y')$ has coordinates $x'=-x$ and $y'=-y$.

Step2: Apply rule to point (9,8)

For the point $(9,8)$, $x = 9$ and $y = 8$. After rotation, $x'=-9$ and $y'=-8$.

Answer:

$(-9,-8)$
