How Do You Rotate a Figure 180 Degrees Around the Origin?

Rotate a figure 180 degrees about the origin.

Summary

  1. We changed the signs of our original x-coordinates from negative to positive
  2. This will give us a reflection in the first quadrant
  3. Changing the signs of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates will reflect of the image in the first quadrant to the fourth quadrant
  4. Each coordinate (x,y) is changed to (-x,-y)
  5. This is our general formula for rotating the figure 180 degrees about the origin

Notes

    1. Changing the x-coordinates will move the figure into the first quadrant
    2. We changed the signs of our original x-coordinates from negative to positive
    1. Changing the signs of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates will move the figure into the fourth quadrant
