When a triangle is rotated, it must be rotated through a center of rotation.
Assume the coordinate of LMN is
The rule of 180-degree rotation is:
So, we have:
See attachment for the graphs of LMN and L'M'N
<u>(a) Describe the transformation</u>
When triangle LMN is rotated 180 degrees across the origin, the x and y coordinates of LMN are negated to form triangle L'M'N'
<u>(b) Lines LL' and MM'</u>
The distance between point L and the center of origin is the same as the distance between point M' and the center of origin
Similarly, the distance between point L and the center of origin is the same as the distance between point M' and the center of origin
<u>(c) Line NN'</u>
Line NN' will assume the same characteristics as lines LL' and MM'
