1. **State the problem:** We have triangle RST with vertices \(R(0,6)\), \(S(6,7)\), and \(T(8,1)\). We want to find the coordinates of the vertices after a 180° rotation about the origin.
2. **Formula for 180° rotation about the origin:**
A point \((x,y)\) rotated 180° about the origin maps to \((-x,-y)\).
3. **Apply the rotation to each vertex:**
- For \(R(0,6)\):
\[
R' = (-0,-6) = (0,-6)
\]
- For \(S(6,7)\):
\[
S' = (-6,-7)
\]
- For \(T(8,1)\):
\[
T' = (-8,-1)
\]
4. **Final answer:**
\[
R'(0,-6),\quad S'(-6,-7),\quad T'(-8,-1)
\]
These are the coordinates of the triangle vertices after a 180° rotation about the origin.
