To determine which function mapping corresponds to a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, let's analyze the transformation.
When a point \((x, y)\) is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, it moves to a new position. The new coordinates can be derived from the following reasoning:
1. The point \((x, y)\) will have:
- The x-coordinate move to the negative y-coordinate,
- The y-coordinate move to the x-coordinate.
This gives us the transformation:
\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x)
\]
Looking at your options:
- **Option #1:** \((x,y) \rightarrow (y,-x)\) (this corresponds to a 90-degree clockwise rotation)
- **Option #2:** \((x,y) \rightarrow (-y,x)\) (this corresponds to a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation)
- **Option #3:** \((x,y) \rightarrow (-x,-y)\) (this corresponds to a rotation of 180 degrees)
- **Option #4:** \((x,y) \rightarrow (y,x)\) (this does not correspond to any standard rotation)
Thus, the correct answer is **Option #2:** \((x,y) \rightarrow (-y,x)\).
