Answer: Option 'b' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

(1,-6) is the given coordinate.

As we have to rotate 180° counterclockwise.

Then, it will go to the second quadrant.

And we know that in II nd quadrant, x- axis is in the negative side and y-axis is in the positive side.

So, The image of (1,-6) becomes (-1,6)

Hence, Option 'b' is correct.
