(5,8) rotate counterclockwise 270 degrees

Answers

To rotate the point (5, 8) counterclockwise by 270 degrees, we can use the following approach:

1. A counterclockwise rotation of 270 degrees is equivalent to a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees.
2. To rotate a point (x, y) by 90 degrees clockwise, we transform it using the formula:
\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)
\]

Now, applying this formula to the point (5, 8):

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

Thus, the coordinates of the point (5, 8) rotated counterclockwise by 270 degrees are \((8, -5)\).
