1. **State the problem:** We need to find the coordinates of point $T'$, which is the image of point $T(-1, 2)$ after a 180° clockwise rotation around the origin.
2. **Formula for rotation:** A 180° clockwise rotation around the origin transforms any point $(x, y)$ to $(x', y')$ given by:
$$x' = -x$$
$$y' = -y$$
This is because rotating 180° flips both coordinates to their negatives.
3. **Apply the formula:** For $T(-1, 2)$:
$$x' = -(-1) = 1$$
$$y' = -(2) = -2$$
4. **Result:** The coordinates of $T'$ after the rotation are $(1, -2)$.
This means the point moves to the opposite quadrant diagonally across the origin.
