Question

Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?

1. (8, 5)
2. (-8, -5)
3. (-5, -8)
4. (-5, 8)

Answer 1

-5, -8 should be correct.

Answer 2

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise, we change the signs of the coordinates.

The original point is (5, 8).

Changing the signs of the coordinates, we get (-5, -8).

Therefore, the new point is (-5, -8).

Option 3. (-5, -8) is the correct answer.
