20.2.2 Point Symmetry About the Origin

Core idea

Spin a point a half-turn around the origin and it lands directly opposite, with both coordinates flipping sign together to (-x, -y).

Module goal. Turn reflection, point symmetry, and translation into simple add-subtract and sign-flip rules on coordinates, laying the groundwork for transforming function graphs later
