(−8, −5)

Answer 1

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, you change the signs of both the x and y coordinates.

Starting with the point (5, 8):

• Change the x-coordinate from 5 to -5
• Change the y-coordinate from 8 to -8

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

So, the correct response is: (−5, −8)
