Question

A point lies in quadrant 2. If it is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise, which quadrant will the point come to rest?

Answer 1

A point (a, b) in the second Quadrant, is any point where a is negative and b is positive.

For example (-3, 5), (-189, 14) etc are all points in the 2.Quadrant

Rotating a point P(x, y) in the second Quadrant 180° counterclockwise, means rotating 180° counterclockwise about the origin, which maps point P to P'(-a, -b) in the fourth Quadrant.
