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

Question

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

Answer 1

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise, we need to change the sign of both the x and y coordinates.

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

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