Rotations

Question 2 • 2026-2027_MDCPS_1206315_Geometry Sem 1

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 sends each point to the point directly opposite it across the origin. Its coordinates change from (x, y) to (−x, −y), so the correct rule is “(x, y) → (−x, −y).”
