All rotations, other than those of 180 degrees should be further qualified as being clockwise or counter-clockwise. This one is not and I am assuming that the direction of rotation is the same as measurement of polar angles. Also, a rotation is not properly defined unless the centre of rotation is specified. I am assuming that the centre of rotation is the origin. Without these two assumptions any point in the plane can be the image. With the assumptions, for which there is no valid reason, the image is (3, -4).
Fomula(work with both clockwise/counterclockwise):(-x,-y)
The answer will depend on where the centre of rotation is. Since that it not specified, the image could by anywhere.
Of course. A reflection of any symmetric shape about a line perpendicular to its axis of symmetry will be a rotation of 180 degrees around the point on its axis of symmetry which is halfway between the pre-image and the image.
The same as 180 degrees clockwise. What do you mean "the answer to"?
A 180° rotation is half a rotation and it doesn't matter if it is clockwise of counter clockwise. When rotating 180° about the origin, the x-coordinate and y-coordinates change sign Thus (1, -6) → (-1, 6) after rotating 180° around the origin.
our point A(x,y) becomes A'(-x,-y).
It is (-1, 6).Also, if the rotation is 180 degrees, then clockwise or anticlockwise are irrelevant.It is (-1, 6).

Because 180 degrees clockwise is the same as 180 degrees counterclockwise.
The rule for a rotation by 180° about the origin is (x,y)→(−x,−y) .
What is the image of point (3, 5) if the rotation is
A measure of rotation MUST state whether it is clockwise or anti-clockwise. Unless the rotation is 0 degrees (ie no rotation) or 180 degrees (the two are the same). It must also specify the centre of rotation. Since you have not bothered to share these crucial bits of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.

180 degrees in the plane perpendicular to the xy plane. In general, no rotation in the (x, y) plane will take it to (-x, y) unless x = y (or -y) and, in that case it is a 270 degree clockwise rotation.
If the point (3,5) is rotated 180 degrees, it becomes (-3,-5).
