To rotate a point \((x, y)\) counterclockwise about the origin by 270 degrees, you can use the following transformation:
For a 270-degree rotation, the new coordinates \((x', y')\) are given by: \[ (x', y') = (y, -x) \]
For the point \((5, 8)\):
- \(x = 5\)
- \(y = 8\)
Applying the transformation: \[ (x', y') = (8, -5) \]
So, the new point after rotating \((5, 8)\) by 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin is \((8, -5)\).
The correct response is: \((8, -5)\)
