Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 270° counterclockwise around the origin will be:

U'(-4, 7), V'(-1, 7), W'(-2, 10)

Explanation:

When a point P(x, y) is rotated 270° counterclockwise around the origin, we flip x and y and reverse the sign of x.

Thus,

The rule to rotate a point P(x, y) after a rotation 270° counterclockwise around the origin is:

P(x, y) → P'(y, -x)

In our case, we have the points

U(-7,-4)

V(-7,-1)

W(-10,-2)

Thus, the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 270° counterclockwise around the origin will be:

P(x, y) → P'(y, -x)

U(-7,-4) → U'(-4, 7)

V(-7, -1) → V'(-1, 7)

W(-10, -2) → W'(-2, 10)

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 270° counterclockwise around the origin will be:

U'(-4, 7), V'(-1, 7), W'(-2, 10)
