Question

Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?
(1 point)

Answer 1

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, you can use the following transformation: if the original point is \((x, y)\), the new coordinates after rotation will be \((-x, -y)\).

For the point \((5, 8)\):

1. Apply the transformation:
- \(x\) coordinate: \(-5\)
- \(y\) coordinate: \(-8\)

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