Answer:

A'(-1,-3)

B'(-2,-2)

C'(-4,-3)

Explanation:

The rotation by 90° counterclockwise about the origin has the rule


(x,y)\rightarrow (-y,x)

So, the vertices of the triangle ABC have the images:


A(-3,1)\rightarrow A'(-1,-3)\\ \\B(-2,2)\rightarrow B'(-2,-2)\\ \\C(-3,4)\rightarrow C'(-4,-3)

see attached diagram for details.
