(−5, −8)

Answer 1

To rotate a point \((x, y)\) 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, the new coordinates will be \((-x, -y)\).

Starting with the point \((5, 8)\):

\[
(-x, -y) = (-5, -8)
\]

So, the new point after rotating \((5, 8)\) 180 degrees clockwise is \((-5, -8)\).

The correct response is \((-5, -8)\).
