Answer 1

To rotate the point (5, 8) 270 degrees clockwise, we can use the rotation transformation rules for 2D coordinates.

When you rotate a point (x, y) by 270 degrees clockwise, the transformation is as follows:

$$(x,y)\to (y,-x)$$

Applying this to the point (5, 8):

1. $x=5$ and $y=8$
2. After the transformation: $$(5,8)\to (8,-5)$$

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

Thus, the correct response is:

(8, −5)
