Rotate the point (5, 8) on a geometric figure 180 degrees clockwiseWhat is the new point? (1 point) (- 8, - 5); (- 5, - 8); (8, 5); (- 5, 8)

To rotate a point 180 degrees clockwise, we simply change the sign of both coordinates.

Given the point (5, 8), the new point after rotating it 180 degrees clockwise is (-5, -8). Hence, the correct answer is (-5, -8).
