Answer 1

To rotate the point (5, 8) 180 degrees clockwise, we can use the rule for 180-degree rotation, which transforms the point (x, y) to (-x, -y).

Applying this rule:

• The x-coordinate 5 becomes -5.
• The y-coordinate 8 becomes -8.

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

Therefore, the correct response is:

(−5, −8)
