Answer 1

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, you change the signs of both the x and y coordinates.

The original point is (5, 8).

So, rotating 180 degrees gives us:
- New x-coordinate: -5
- New y-coordinate: -8

Therefore, the new point after the rotation is \((-5, -8)\).

The correct response is:

\((-5, -8)\)
