To rotate a point (x, y) 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, we switch the coordinates and negate the new x-coordinate.
In this case, the original point is (5, 8). When we rotate it 270 degrees counterclockwise, the new point will be (-8, 5).
Thus, the correct answer is (−8, 5).
What is the new point when you rotate a geometric figure with point (5, 8) 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin?(1 point)
