Rotate the point (5,8) on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point

1 answer

To rotate a point (x,y) 270 degrees clockwise, we can apply the following formula:

New x-coordinate = y
New y-coordinate = -x

Applying this formula to the given point (5,8):

New x-coordinate = 8
New y-coordinate = -(5)

Therefore, the new point after rotating (5,8) 270 degrees clockwise is (8,-5).
