Answer 1

To rotate a point \((x, y)\) counterclockwise by \(270\) degrees around the origin, you can use the following formula:

\[ (x', y') = (y, -x) \]

where \((x', y')\) are the coordinates of the new point after the rotation.

Given the point \((5, 8)\):

• \(x = 5\)
• \(y = 8\)

Applying the formula:

\[ (x', y') = (8, -5) \]

So, the new coordinates after a \(270\)-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin are:

\((8, -5)\)

Therefore, the correct response is:

\((8, -5)\)
