Hey there! I'm happy to help!

If you reflect a point across the x-axis, you have (x,y)⇒(x,-y). If you reflect across the y-axis, you have (x,y)⇒(-x,y). A 180° rotation is the same thing as reflecting across both the x and y axes. This means that the rule for rotating the point with coordinates (x,y) 180° clockwise about the origin is D. (x,y)⇒ (-x,-y).

Have a wonderful day! :D
