Answer 1

To rotate a point (x, y) 270 degrees clockwise, you can use the following transformation:

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

For the point (5, 8):

1. Identify x and y: \(x = 5\) and \(y = 8\).
2. Apply the transformation:
\[
(5, 8) \to (8, -5)
\]

So, after rotating the point (5, 8) 270 degrees clockwise, the new point is \((8, -5)\).

Therefore, the correct response is:

**(8, −5)**.
