Answer:

The fourth option:

J(7, - 15)

K ( -21, 62)

W(14, 32)

Step-by-step explanation:

The counterclockwise rotation by 180 degrees about the origin corresponds to the following transformation of coordinates.


(x,y)\to(-x,-y)

This means that if we have the point J (-7, 15), then under 180 counterclockwise rotation about the origin, it transforms to


\begin{gathered} J(-7,15)\to J(--7,1-5) \\ \to J(7,-15) \end{gathered}

Similarly, the point K(21, -62) transforms to


K\mleft(21,-62\mright)\to K(-21,62)

and


W(-14,-32)\to W(14,32)

Hence, to summerise, a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin brings about the following changes


\begin{gathered} J\mleft(7,-15\mright) \\ K(-21,62) \\ W\mleft(14,32\mright) \end{gathered}
