(8, −5)

(−8, −5)

(8, 5)

(−5, 8)

Answer 1

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).
