Answer 1

To find the coordinates of the point \( W' \) after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin, you can use the rotation mapping rule for a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation. The rule is:

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

Given the coordinates of point \( W \) as \( (-3, 7) \):

1. Take the \( x \) coordinate: \( -3 \)
2. Take the \( y \) coordinate: \( 7 \)

Applying the rotation rule:

\[
W' = (-y, x) = (-7, -3)
\]

Thus, the coordinates of \( W' \) after the rotation are \( W'(-7, -3) \).
