Answer 1

To rotate the point (9, 5) 270 degrees clockwise, you can use the following rule for rotation:

When rotating a point (x, y) 270 degrees clockwise:

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

Applying this to the point (9, 5):

1. The new x-coordinate will be the original y-coordinate: \(y = 5\)
2. The new y-coordinate will be the negative of the original x-coordinate: \(-x = -9\)

So, (9, 5) rotated 270 degrees clockwise becomes:

\[ (5, -9) \]

However, this does not match any of the answer choices directly. My apologies; let's go step by step:

Alternatively, a 270 degrees clockwise rotation can also be seen as a 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation.

The formula for a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation is:

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

Applying this to the point (9, 5):

1. The new x-coordinate will be the negative of the original y-coordinate: \(-5\).
2. The new y-coordinate will be the original x-coordinate: \(9\).

Thus, (9, 5) rotated 270 degrees clockwise is:

\[ (-5, 9) \]

So, the new point after the 270 degrees clockwise rotation is \(\text{(−5, 9)}\).
