Rotate the point (5, 8)

Question

on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point

Answer 1

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 \((-5, -8)\).
