Question

Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point? (1 point)
• (8, 5)
• (8, - 5)
O (-8, 5)
• (-8, - 5)

Answer 1

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

1. Swap the coordinates.
2. Change the sign of the new y-coordinate.

For the point (5, 8):

1. Swap the coordinates: (5, 8) becomes (8, 5).
2. Change the sign of the new y-coordinate: (8, 5) becomes (8, -5).

Therefore, after rotating the point (5, 8) by 270 degrees clockwise, the new point is **(8, -5)**.

So the answer is:

• (8, -5)
