Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?
1.(8, 5)
2.(−8, 5)
3.(8, −5)
4.(−8, −5)
To rotate a point 270 degrees clockwise, we change the x-coordinate to its negative value and swap the x and y coordinates.
The original point is (5, 8).
Swapping the coordinates, we get (8, 5).
Changing the x-coordinate to its negative value, we get (−8, 5).
Therefore, the new point after rotating the original point 270 degrees clockwise is option 2, (−8, 5).
