Answer 1

To rotate the point \( (9, 5) \) by 180 degrees clockwise, you can apply the rule for 180-degree rotation, which is to negate both the x and y coordinates of the point.

Starting point: \( (9, 5) \)

After rotating:
- The new x-coordinate will be: \( -9 \)
- The new y-coordinate will be: \( -5 \)

Thus, the new point after a 180-degree clockwise rotation is \( (-9, -5) \).

The correct response is:
\[
(-9, -5)
\]
