Transcript text: Rotate the point $(-4,-6)$ on a geometric figure 180 degrees counterclockwise. What is the new point? (1 point)
$(4,6)$
$(-6,-4)$
$(-4,6)$
$(6,4)$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the rotation transformation
To rotate a point \( (x, y) \) 180 degrees counterclockwise, the transformation rule is:
\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)
\]
Step 2: Apply the transformation to the given point
The given point is \( (-4, -6) \). Applying the transformation:
\[
(-4, -6) \rightarrow (4, 6)
\]
Step 3: Verify the result
The new point after rotation is \( (4, 6) \), which matches one of the provided options.
