Answer 1

To rotate the point (5, 8) by 270 degrees clockwise, you can use the following transformation rule for rotation:

• A 270-degree clockwise rotation is equivalent to a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation.

Using the 90-degree counterclockwise rotation rule:

• The point (x, y) becomes (-y, x).

Applying this to the point (5, 8):

• x = 5 and y = 8 gives us the new coordinates:
• (-8, 5)

Thus, the new point after rotating (5, 8) by 270 degrees clockwise is (−8, 5).
