A 90-degree clockwise rotation about the origin can be represented by the transformation mapping \((x, y) \to (y, -x)\).

To see how this rotation is equivalent to other transformations, we can compare it to the provided options:

1. **Dilation with a scale factor of \( \frac{1}{4} \)**: This scales the distance from the origin but does not change the angle. Not equivalent.

2. **Dilation with a scale factor of \( \frac{1}{2} \)**: Similar to option 1, this just scales distances and does not change the angle. Not equivalent.

3. **270 degrees counterclockwise rotation**: A 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin corresponds to the transformation mapping \((x, y) \to (-y, x)\), which is the same as the 90-degree clockwise rotation, as they result in the same final positions for the points. **This is equivalent.**

4. **Translation**: Translations move points without altering their orientation, distance, or angle. Thus, not equivalent.

5. **Reflection over the line \(y=x\)**: This transforms points as follows: \((x, y) \to (y, x)\). It does not result in a 90-degree clockwise rotation and thus is not equivalent.

Among the options given, the correct response that is equivalent to a 90-degree clockwise rotation about the origin is:

**A 270 degrees counterclockwise rotation.**
