What is the new point when you rotate a geometric figure with point (5, 8) 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin? (1 point)
When rotating a point 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, the new coordinates can be obtained by swapping the x and y values of the original point and changing the sign of the new x value.
In this case, the original point is (5, 8).
After rotating the point 270 degrees counterclockwise, the new point would be (-8, 5).
