Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?
1. (8, 5)
2. (-8, -5)
3. (-5, -8)
4. (-5, 8)
To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise, we change the signs of the coordinates.
The original point is (5, 8).
Changing the signs of the coordinates, we get (-5, -8).
Therefore, the new point is (-5, -8).
Option 3. (-5, -8) is the correct answer.
