Given a point on a geometric figure (1, 2), what is the new point when the point is rotated clockwise about the origin 90 degrees?

When a point is rotated clockwise about the origin, the coordinates of the new point can be found by switching the x and y coordinates and changing the sign of the new x coordinate.

For the point (1, 2), the new point when rotated clockwise about the origin 90 degrees would be (-2, 1).
