Given a point (x, y) on a geometric figure, what is the new point when the figure is rotated counterclockwise about the origin 180 degrees?

When a point (x, y) is rotated counterclockwise about the origin 180 degrees, the new point is (-x, -y). This means that both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the original point are negated to get the coordinates of the new point.
