To rotate the point (5, 8) by 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, you apply the rule for a 180-degree rotation: (x, y) becomes (-x, -y).

Starting with the point (5, 8):

  • The new x-coordinate will be -5.
  • The new y-coordinate will be -8.

So, the point (5, 8) rotated 180 degrees clockwise is (-5, -8).

Therefore, the correct response is:

(−5, −8)
