Respuesta :

Answer: Choice C.  (-x, -y)

Explanation:

Focus on one point, such as A = (1,2). Note how it moves to point A ' = (-1, -2). Both x and y coordinates have been flipped from positive to negative. The rule therefore is [tex](x,y) \to (-x,-y)[/tex]. This describes a 180 degree rotation (either clockwise or counterclockwise, it doesn't matter). Points B and C follow the same idea.

Side note: Lines AA', BB' and CC' all go through the origin (0,0).
