To rotate the point (5, 8) 270 degrees clockwise, we can use the rotation transformation rules for 2D coordinates.
When you rotate a point (x, y) by 270 degrees clockwise, the transformation is as follows:
\[ (x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x) \]
Applying this to the point (5, 8):
- \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 8 \)
- After the transformation: \[ (5, 8) \rightarrow (8, -5) \]
So the new point after rotating (5, 8) by 270 degrees clockwise is (8, -5).
Thus, the correct response is:
(8, −5)
