Question

The point (4,3) is rotated 180° about the origin. What are the coordinates of this point after therotation?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

(-4, -3)

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following point:

$(4,3)$

A 180° rotation complies with the following rule:

$\begin{gathered} P(x,y)\rightarrow P^{\prime}(-x,-y) \\ \text{therefore, in this case:} \\ (4,3)\rightarrow(-4,-3) \end{gathered}$

The point after the rotation is (-4, -3)
