To rotate a point \((x, y)\) about the origin by an angle θ, you can use the following formulas:

- When rotating counterclockwise by an angle θ:
- \(x' = x \cdot \cos(\theta) - y \cdot \sin(\theta)\)
- \(y' = x \cdot \sin(\theta) + y \cdot \cos(\theta)\)

- When rotating clockwise by an angle θ (which is equivalent to rotating counterclockwise by \(-\theta\)):
- \(x' = x \cdot \cos(-\theta) - y \cdot \sin(-\theta)\)
- \(y' = x \cdot \sin(-\theta) + y \cdot \cos(-\theta)\)

In this case, we need to rotate the point \(Q(-5, -9)\) by \(-270^\circ\). A rotation of \(-270^\circ\) is equivalent to a rotation of \(90^\circ\) clockwise.

Using the rotation formulas for \(90^\circ\) clockwise, we have:
- \(\cos(90^\circ) = 0\)
- \(\sin(90^\circ) = 1\)

Now, apply the formulas:
- \(x' = -5 \cdot 0 - (-9) \cdot 1 = 0 + 9 = 9\)
- \(y' = -5 \cdot 1 + (-9) \cdot 0 = -5 + 0 = -5\)

Thus, after the rotation, point \(Q'\) is at \((9, -5)\).

The correct response is:
**Q′(9,−5)**
