Algebra.Com's Answer #593139 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rule: The point (x,y) will turn into (-x,-y) after you rotate the initial point 180 degrees clockwise about the origin.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So in this case, (x,y) = (3,-2) turns into (-x,-y) = (-3,2)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The image is (-3,2)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Graph\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " ![]() \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice how the image, preimage, and origin all lie on the same straight line (dashed purple line).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: the preimage is the initial starting point (3,-2) and the image is the final ending point (-3,2) after the rotation. \n" ); document.write( " |
