The Solution:

Rule:

When rotating a point 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin our point A(x,y) becomes A'(-y,x). In other words, switch x and y and make y negative.

The original coordinates of the given points are as follows:


\begin{gathered} A(-4,3)_{} \\ B(2,3) \\ C(2,-1) \\ D(-4,-1) \end{gathered}

So, the new coordinates of the given points are below:


A^(\prime)(-3,-4)
B^(\prime)(-3,2)
C^(\prime)(1,2)
D^(\prime)(1,-4)
