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:

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

Applying this to the point (5, 8):

1. \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 8 \)
2. After the transformation:
\[
(5, 8) \rightarrow (8, -5)
\]

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

Thus, the correct response is:

(8, −5)
