Answer:

(2, 3), (-3, 2), (-2, -3), (3, -2)

Explanation:

You can pick any point you like, then rotate it around the origin to the four quadrants (or axes) by the transformation ...

(x, y) ⇒ (-y, x) . . . . . . . . . 90° rotation CCW

That is a rotation 90° CCW. Of course a rotation CW can do the same thing for you.

One possible square is ...

(2, 3), (-3, 2), (-2, -3), (3, -2)
