Answer 1

To rotate the point (5, 8) by 180 degrees clockwise, you can apply the transformation that changes the coordinates (x, y) to (-x, -y).

For the point (5, 8):
- The new x-coordinate will be -5.
- The new y-coordinate will be -8.

Thus, the new point after a 180-degree clockwise rotation is (-5, -8).

The correct response is: **(−5, −8)**.
