1. **Problem Statement:** We need to find the image of rectangle TUWV after a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin.
2. **Vertices of the original rectangle:**
- T(5, 2)
- U(8, 2)
- W(5, 8)
- V(8, 8)
3. **Rotation formula for 180° counterclockwise about the origin:**
$$ (x, y) \to (-x, -y) $$
This means each point's coordinates are negated.
4. **Apply the rotation to each vertex:**
- T(5, 2) becomes T'(-5, -2)
- U(8, 2) becomes U'(-8, -2)
- W(5, 8) becomes W'(-5, -8)
- V(8, 8) becomes V'(-8, -8)
5. **Interpretation:** The rotated rectangle TUWV is now located in the third quadrant, with vertices at T'(-5, -2), U'(-8, -2), W'(-5, -8), and V'(-8, -8).
6. **Summary:** The 180° rotation about the origin negates both x and y coordinates of each vertex, effectively flipping the rectangle across the origin.
