Question

Rotation 180 degrees about the origin __________.

Options:
A) Clockwise
B) Counterclockwise
C) Results in a reflection
D) Does not change orientation

Answer 1

Rotation 180 degrees about the origin results in a reflection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation 180 degrees about the origin results in a reflection.

When a shape or point is rotated 180 degrees about the origin, it is flipped or reflected across the x-axis. The orientation of the shape or point changes, resulting in a reflection.For example, if we have a point A located at (2, 3) and we rotate it 180 degrees about the origin, it will end up at point A' located at (-2, -3). The orientation of the point has changed due to the reflection.
