Question

Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point? (1 point)
0 (8, - 5)
0 (-8, - 5)
0 (8, 5)
O (-8,5)

Answer 1

To rotate a point (x, y) 270 degrees clockwise around the origin, you can use the following transformation:

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

For the point (5, 8):

1. Replace x with 5 and y with 8 in the transformation:
\[
(5, 8) \rightarrow (8, -5)
\]

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

So, the correct choice is:
0 (8, -5)
