The initial position of the point W (-13, 9)

The transformed position of the point W' (-9, -13)

when transformed 90 degrees counterclockwise, the coordinates of the original position is swapped and the y-coordinate is negated

That is if the W coordinate is (x,y), the transformation W coordinate in 90 degrees counter-clockwise will be (-y, -x )

Since W is (-13, 9)

Then W' will be ( -9 , -13)...In 90 degrees counterclockwise
