Given:
The vertices of a quadrilateral are v(-2,-1) w(-5,-2) x(-8,-7) and y(1,-6).
To find:
The vertices of the image of quadrilateral vwxy after 180° about the origin.
Solution:
If a figure rotated 180° about the origin, then the rule of rotation is
[tex](x,y)\to (-x,-y)[/tex]
Using this rule, we get
[tex]v(-2,-1)\to v'(2,1)[/tex]
[tex]w(-5,-2)\to w'(5,2)[/tex]
[tex]x(-8,-7)\to x'(8,7)[/tex]
[tex]y(1,-6)\to y'(-1,6)[/tex]
Therefore, the vertices of image of quadrilateral vwxy after 180° about the origin are v'(2,1), w'(5,2), x'(8,7), y'(-1,6).
