Answer 1

To rotate a point \( (x, y) \) by 180 degrees clockwise, you can apply the transformation \( (x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y) \).

For the point \( (5, 8) \):
\[
(-5, -8)
\]

So the new point after rotating \( (5, 8) \) 180 degrees clockwise is \( (-5, -8) \).

The correct response is:
\[
\text{(−5, −8)}
\]
