Question

The point Z(6,2) is rotated 180degrees clockwise around the origin.What arethe coordinates of the resulting point Z'

Answer 1

`Z' = (-6,-2)`

Explanation:

Given

`Z = (6,2)`

Transformation: 180 degrees clockwise around the origin

Required

Determine the new coordinates Z'

When a point (x,y) is rotated 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, the new point is: (-x,-y)

So:

`Z = (6,2)`

Then:

`Z' = (-6,-2)`
