Answer:

(d) y' = 3/2x

Explanation:

The transformation for rotating a figure 180° about the origin is ...

(x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)

__

Given the line ...

y = 3/2x

The translation of it is ...

-y' = 3/2(-x)

Simplifying gives ...

y' = 3/2x

_____

Additional comment

Rotation 180° about the origin is equivalent to reflection across the origin. For a line that passes through the origin, that reflection is simply the original line, as we can see in the equations above.
