Answer 1

To rotate a point \((x, y)\) counterclockwise by 270 degrees about the origin, you can use the following transformation formula:

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

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

1. \(x = 5\)
2. \(y = 8\)

Applying the transformation:

\[ (5, 8) \rightarrow (8, -5) \]

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

So the correct answer is:

\((8, -5)\)
