Given a point (1, 2) on a geometric figure, what is the new point when the figure is rotated clockwise about the origin 180 degrees?
wrong
To find the new point when the figure is rotated clockwise about the origin 180 degrees, we can use the formula for rotation of a point (x, y) about the origin by 180 degrees:
New point = (-x, -y)
For the given point (1, 2), we substitute x = 1 and y = 2 into the formula:
New point = (-(1), -(2)) = (-1, -2)
Therefore, the new point when the figure is rotated clockwise about the origin 180 degrees is (-1, -2).
