90 degree clockwise rotation is described by the matrix,


\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\\ \end{bmatrix}

If you apply the matrix to the vector
B you get,


\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}7\\8\\ \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7\cdot0+8\cdot1=8\\ -1\cdot7+8\cdot0=-7\\ \end{bmatrix}

So false.

Hope this helps.
