Answer:

(2,-3)

Explanation:

We have the point n (-2, -3) and we need to rotate it 270 degrees clockwise about the origin.

When rotating 270 clockwise about the origin you switch the x and y coordinate and use the opposite sign of the original y coordinate.

A(x, y) becomes A' (-y, x)

This means that point N becomes:

N (-2, -3) => N'(-(-2), (-3))

=> N'(2,- 3)

Hence, The coordinate of N' is (2, -3)
