Rule: The point (x,y) will turn into (-x,-y) after you rotate the initial point 180 degrees clockwise about the origin.

So in this case, (x,y) = (3,-2) turns into (-x,-y) = (-3,2)

The image is (-3,2)

Graph

Notice how the image, preimage, and origin all lie on the same straight line (dashed purple line).

Note: the preimage is the initial starting point (3,-2) and the image is the final ending point (-3,2) after the rotation.
