Answer 1

To rotate a point \((x, y)\) by \(270^\circ\) counterclockwise about the origin, you can use the transformation rule:

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

For the point \((5, 8)\):

1. Substitute \(x = 5\) and \(y = 8\) into the transformation: \[ (5, 8) \to (8, -5) \]

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

Therefore, the correct answer is:

\((8, -5)\)
