Answer: (1, 3)

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for a 90 degree counterclockwise rotation is


(x,y) \to (-y,x)

This rule only works if the center of rotation is the origin.

If we apply that rule to point N, then we have


(x,y) \to (-y,x)\\\\(3,-1) \to (-(-1),3)\\\\(3,-1) \to (1,3)

Therefore, point N' is located at (1,3)

Check out the diagram below.
