Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point? (1 point)

Question

O (8, 5)
0 (-5,8)
0 (-8, - 5)
• (-5, - 8)

Answer 1

To rotate the point (5, 8) by 180 degrees clockwise, we can follow a straightforward rule. Rotating a point (x, y) by 180 degrees results in the point (-x, -y).

Starting with the point (5, 8):

• The x-coordinate becomes -5.
• The y-coordinate becomes -8.

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

Therefore, the correct answer is:

• (-5, -8)
