Question

The point G( – 5, – 1) is rotated 180° counterclockwise around the origin. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, G'?

Answer 1

(5,1)

Explanation:

Rotating 180 degrees about the origin means that there is a reflection against the y-axis and x-axis. Therefore, the x and y values will change their signs.

Hence, the new coordinate would be (5,1)

Answer 2

the coordinates of the resulting point G' are (5, 1).

Explanation:

When a point is rotated 180° counterclockwise around the origin, it is reflected across the x-axis and y-axis. This means that the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the point are both negated.

So, for the point G(-5, -1), the x-coordinate becomes -(-5) = 5 and the y-coordinate becomes -(-1) = 1.
