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:

\((8, -5)\)
