Answer 1

To rotate a point \((x, y)\) 270 degrees clockwise around the origin, you can use the following transformation:

\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)
\]

Starting with the point \((5, 8)\):

1. Apply the transformation:
\[
(5, 8) \rightarrow (8, -5)
\]

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

The correct response is:

\((8, -5)\)
