Rotate the point (9, 5) on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point? (1 point)

O (5, 9)
O (-9, -5)

• (-5,9)
0 (-5,-9)

To rotate a point 270 degrees clockwise, you can first swap the x and y coordinates and then negate the new x coordinate.

Given the point (9, 5), swapping the coordinates gives us (5, 9). Then negating the x coordinate gives us (-5, 9).

Therefore, the new point after rotating 270 degrees clockwise is option (C) (-5, 9).
