What is the new point?(1 point) Responses (−8, −5) left parenthesis negative 8 comma negative 5 right parenthesis (−5, 8) left parenthesis negative 5 comma 8 right parenthesis (8, 5) left parenthesis 8 comma 5 right parenthesis (−5, −8)

1 answer

To rotate a point \( (x, y) \) 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, you can use the following transformation:

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

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

\[ (5, 8) \rightarrow (-5, -8) \]

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

The correct response is \( (-5, -8) \).
