Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 270 degrees clockwise. What is the new point?
To rotate a point 270 degrees clockwise, we will swap the x and y coordinates and negate the new x coordinate.
The original point is (5, 8).
Swapping the x and y coordinates gives us (8, 5).
Negating the new x coordinate gives us (-8, 5).
Therefore, the new point after rotating 270 degrees clockwise is (-8, 5).
