Answer:

To rotate a point 90 degrees clockwise, we can use the following rotation matrix:

```

| 0 1 |

| -1 0 |

```

To apply this transformation to the point (-3, 2), we can multiply it by the rotation matrix:

```

| 0 1 | | -3 |

| -1 0 | * | 2 |

```

Performing the multiplication:

```

(0 * -3) + (1 * 2) = -2

(-1 * -3) + (0 * 2) = 3

```

The new location of the point after rotating 90 degrees clockwise is ( -2, 3 ).
