Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point? (1 point)
A.(-8, -5)
B.(8, -5)
C.(8, 5)
D.(-8, 5)
To rotate a point 270 degrees clockwise, we can swap the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.
In this case, the original point is (5, 8).
Swapping the coordinates gives us (8, 5).
Negating the x coordinate gives us (-8, 5).
Therefore, the new point is (-8, 5).
The correct answer is D. (-8, 5).
