To rotate a point \( (x, y) \) 180 degrees clockwise about the origin, the new coordinates are given by \( (-x, -y) \).
For the point \( (5, 8) \):
- The new x-coordinate will be \( -5 \)
- The new y-coordinate will be \( -8 \)
Therefore, the new point after rotating \( (5, 8) \) 180 degrees clockwise is \( (-5, -8) \).
The correct response is: (−5, −8)
