rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?

a (-8, -5)
b (8, 5)
c (-5, 8)
d (-5, -8)

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise, we can flip the signs of the coordinates.

The original point is (5, 8), so the flipped signs give us (-5, -8).

Therefore, the new point is option d: (-5, -8).
