1. **State the problem:** We have quadrilateral STUV with vertices S(-5,7), T(-4,7), U(-2,1), and V(-8,1). We want to find the coordinates of these points after a 180° rotation about the origin.
2. **Formula for 180° rotation about the origin:**
For any point $(x,y)$, the coordinates after a 180° rotation about the origin are given by:
$$ (x', y') = (-x, -y) $$
This means we negate both the x- and y-coordinates.
3. **Apply the formula to each vertex:**
- For $S(-5,7)$:
$$ S' = (-(-5), -(7)) = (5, -7) $$
- For $T(-4,7)$:
$$ T' = (-(-4), -(7)) = (4, -7) $$
- For $U(-2,1)$:
$$ U' = (-(-2), -(1)) = (2, -1) $$
- For $V(-8,1)$:
$$ V' = (-(-8), -(1)) = (8, -1) $$
4. **Final answer:**
The coordinates of the rotated quadrilateral STUV after a 180° rotation about the origin are:
$$ S'(5, -7),\quad T'(4, -7),\quad U'(2, -1),\quad V'(8, -1) $$
