Answer 1

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

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

Now, applying this to the point (5, 8):

1. Identify \(x\) and \(y\):
- \(x = 5\)
- \(y = 8\)

2. Apply the transformation:
\[
(5, 8) \rightarrow (8, -5)
\]

Therefore, the new point after a 270-degree clockwise rotation of (5, 8) is \((8, -5)\).

The correct answer is:

(8, −5)
