To find the coordinates of A' after a counterclockwise rotation of 270° about the origin, you can use the rotation transformation formula.

A counterclockwise rotation of 270° is equivalent to a clockwise rotation of 90°. The transformation for rotating a point (x, y) 90° clockwise is given by:

\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)
\]

Now, let’s apply this transformation to each of the possible original points to see which one matches the options given.

Suppose A has coordinates (1, 2):
1. Applying the transformation:
\[
(1, 2) \rightarrow (2, -1)
\]

Now, let's check each of the options given for A:

1. (1, 2) → (2, -1) (Matches)
2. (−1, −2) → (−2, 1) (Does not match)
3. (1, 1) → (1, -1) (Does not match)
4. (2, −1) → (−1, -2) (Does not match)

The correct choice for the coordinates of A' after a 270° counterclockwise rotation about the origin is:

\((2, -1)\).
