Answer:

rotated vertices are (1, 1), (-2, -1), (-4, 0)

Explanation:

When the rotation direction is not specified, it is usually taken to be counterclockwise. Rotation 270° CCW is the same as rotation 90° CW. The transformation of coordinates is ...

(x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)

Then your rotated points become ...

A(-1, 1) ⇒ A'(1, 1)

B(1, -2) ⇒ B'(-2, -1)

C(0, -4) ⇒ C'(-4, 0)

_____

In the attached, the rotated triangle is shown in red. As an example, the arc through which point C is rotated is shown.
