To apply the rotation mapping rules for a -270 degrees (clockwise) rotation about the origin, we can use the following transformation for a point \( (x, y) \):

When rotating by \(-270\) degrees (or equivalently \(90\) degrees counterclockwise), the transformation is given by:

\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)
\]

Now, let's apply this transformation to point \( H \) which is at coordinates \( (-1, -8) \).

1. Assign \( x = -1 \) and \( y = -8 \).
2. Apply the transformation:
\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x) \rightarrow (-8, 1)
\]

Thus, the image of point \( H \) after a -270 degree rotation about the origin is:

\[
\boxed{(-8, 1)}
\]
