Step-by-step explanation:

A counterclockwise rotation about the origin by 90 degrees rule is:


(x,y)\rightarrow(-y,x)

The reflection about the x-axis is:


(x,y)\rightarrow(x,-y)

If we take for example point P (-3, -2) we can see it ends at P'(2,3). The counterclockwise rotation about the origin by 90º gives:


(-3,-2)\rightarrow(2,-3)

And now with a reflection about the x-axis:


(2,-3)\rightarrow(2,3)

Which is point P'

Answer:

Counterclockwise rotation about the origin by 90 degrees followed by reflection about the x-axis
