To rotate the point \( Q(-5, -9) \) by \(-270^\circ\) about the origin, we can first convert \(-270^\circ\) to a positive angle.

\[
-270^\circ + 360^\circ = 90^\circ
\]

Next, we'll use the rotation formula for a \(90^\circ\) counterclockwise rotation, which transforms the coordinates \( (x, y) \) as follows:

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

Now, substituting the coordinates of point \( Q(-5, -9) \):

\[
Q(-5, -9) \to (-(-9), -5) = (9, -5)
\]

Thus, the location of \( Q' \) after the rotation is:

\[
Q'(9, -5)
\]

So the correct response is:

**Q′(9,−5)**
