Question

Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?(1 point) Responses (−5, 8) left parenthesis negative 5 comma 8 right parenthesis (−5, −8) left parenthesis negative 5 comma negative 8 right parenthesis (−8, −5) left parenthesis negative 8 comma negative 5 right parenthesis (8, 5)

Answer 1

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise, you can negate both the x and y coordinates of the point.

For the point (5, 8):

• Negating the x-coordinate: -5
• Negating the y-coordinate: -8

Thus, the new point after a 180-degree clockwise rotation of (5, 8) is (-5, -8).

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