Final answer:

The question pertains to finding new coordinates after rotating points 90 degrees about the origin. New coordinates follow the transformation where x' = -y and y' = x. However, without the original coordinates of points P, Q, and R, we're unable to verify the given options for the new positions of P', Q', and R'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to find the coordinates of points P', Q', and R' after a rotation of 90 degrees about the origin (0,0). When we rotate a point (x, y) 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, the new coordinates (x', y') can be found using the transformation equations:

x' = -y

y' = x

Let's use this to find the new coordinates for each point:

For P, if we assume P has coordinates (x, y) before the rotation, then after the rotation P' will have coordinates (-y, x). Without the original coordinates of P, we cannot provide the exact new coordinates.

For Q, the same rules apply, resulting in Q' having coordinates (-y, x).

For R, again R' will have coordinates (-y, x).

However, we need the original coordinates of points P, Q, and R to provide specific new coordinate values for P', Q', and R'. Since we don't have those original coordinates, we cannot verify the given options A, B, C, or D accurately.
