Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 270° clockwise what is the new point?
The options are
A (8, -5)
B (-8, -5)
C (8, 5)
D (-8, 5)
To rotate a point (x, y) 270 degrees clockwise, you can use the following formula:
New point (x', y') = (-y, x)
Applying this formula to the given point (5, 8):
New point (x', y') = (-8, 5)
The new point is therefore (-8, 5).
Therefore, the correct option is D) (-8, 5).
To rotate a point (x, y) 270° clockwise on a geometric figure, you need to swap the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.
Given the point (5, 8), to rotate it 270° clockwise, the new point will be (-8, 5).
Therefore, the answer is option D: (-8, 5).
