To rotate a point \((x, y)\) clockwise by 90 degrees around the origin, you can use the following transformation:

\[
(x', y') = (y, -x)
\]

In this case, the point given is \((1, 2)\). Applying the transformation:

- \(x' = y = 2\)
- \(y' = -x = -1\)

Therefore, the new point after rotating \((1, 2)\) clockwise 90 degrees about the origin is:

\[
(2, -1)
\]
