To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise around the origin, you can use the following transformation:
For a point \((x, y)\), its new coordinates after a 180-degree rotation will be \((-x, -y)\).
Given the point \((5, 8)\), we can apply this transformation:
- New x-coordinate: \(-5\)
- New y-coordinate: \(-8\)
Thus, the new point after rotating \((5, 8)\) 180 degrees clockwise is \((-5, -8)\).
