To find the coordinates of point E after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, we can use the following transformation rule for rotation:

For a point \((x, y)\), the coordinates after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation are given by the formula:
\[
(x', y') = (-y, x)
\]

Given the coordinates of point E are \( (5, 3) \):

Applying the transformation:
- The new x-coordinate \( x' = -y = -3 \)
- The new y-coordinate \( y' = x = 5 \)

Therefore, the coordinates of point E' after the rotation are \( (-3, 5) \).

So, the coordinate of E' is:
\[
E' = (-3, 5)
\]
