Question 970521: The point (3,-2) is rotated 180 degrees clockwise about the origin. The image is:
I tried this and think it is 2,-3, but am not sure.
Thank you

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.
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.
