Question

Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?(1 point) Responses (8, 5) left parenthesis 8 comma 5 right parenthesis (−5, 8) left parenthesis negative 5 comma 8 right parenthesis (−8, −5) left parenthesis negative 8 comma negative 5 right parenthesis (−5, −8)

Answer 1

To rotate the point \( (5, 8) \) by 180 degrees clockwise, you can use the rule for 180-degree rotation, which is to negate both coordinates.

Starting with the point \( (5, 8) \):
- Negate the x-coordinate: \( -5 \)
- Negate the y-coordinate: \( -8 \)

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

Therefore, the correct response is:

**(−5, −8)**.
