Question

Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?(1 point) Responses (−8, −5) left parenthesis negative 8 comma negative 5 right parenthesis (8, 5) left parenthesis 8 comma 5 right parenthesis (−5, 8) left parenthesis negative 5 comma 8 right parenthesis (−5, −8)

Answer 1

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise, we can simply change the sign of both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate.

The original point is (5, 8).

Changing the sign of both coordinates gives us (-5, -8).

Thus, the new point after rotating 180 degrees clockwise is (-5, -8).
