Rotate the point (5, 8)
on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point

To rotate the point \((5, 8)\) 270 degrees clockwise, we can use the rotation transformation.

First, it's important to note that a 270-degree clockwise rotation is equivalent to a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation. We can apply the following transformation for a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation:

- The point \((x, y)\) will transform to \((-y, x)\).

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

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

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

Therefore, after rotating the point (5, 8) 270 degrees clockwise, the new coordinates are \((-8, 5)\).
