Rotations

Question 3 • High School Math 2 A

Which rule represents R0, 180°?

Answer
A
(x, y) → (–y, x)
B
(x, y) → (–x, –y)
C
(x, y) → (y, –x)
D
(x, y) → (y, x)

Explanation

A 180° rotation about the origin changes both coordinate signs: (x, y) maps to (−x, −y). For example, the point (2, 3) rotates to (−2, −3), so the rule is (x, y) → (−x, −y), choice B.
