Answer 2

J' (3, 2)

Explanation:

when a point is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the point goes from (x, y) to (y, -x). You can imagine this rule or come up with it by doing a rotation on a graph, but really it's just a rule you should memorize.

So, apply (x, y) --> (y, -x) to this point:

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

J' (3, 2)
