Answer:

(2, 5)

Explanation:

A 90° CCW transformation is ...

(x, y) ⇒ (-y, x)

For A(5, -2), the image point is A'(2, 5).

_____

In your mind, draw a line segment from the origin to point A. You will see that is slope is (rise)/(run) = -2/5.

When you rotate that segment 90° CCW about the origin, it will extend into the first quadrant. The rotated segment is perpendicular to the one you started with, so its slope is ...

-1/(-2/5) = 5/2

That is, it will have a rise of 5 for a run of 2. The point A' will have a x-coordinate of 2 (the run), and a y-coordinate of 5 (the rise).

A'(2, 5)
