Answer 1

To find the new coordinates of the point (5, 8) after a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation around the origin, we can use the following transformation rules for rotations:

• A 90-degree counterclockwise rotation transforms a point (x, y) to (-y, x).
• A 180-degree rotation transforms a point (x, y) to (-x, -y).
• A 270-degree counterclockwise rotation is equivalent to a 90-degree clockwise rotation, which transforms (x, y) to (y, -x).

Applying the 270-degree rotation to the point (5, 8):

• The new coordinates will be (y, -x) = (8, -5).

Therefore, the new point is (8, -5).
