Answer 1

To determine the new coordinates after a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, we can use the rotation rule for coordinates. The rule states that for a point (x, y), after a 90° counterclockwise rotation, the new coordinates (x', y') will be:

\[
(x', y') = (-y, x)
\]

Now, if we let the original coordinates of point D be (x, y), we will apply the formula to find D′.

Given the options provided, we can derive potential original coordinates:

1. If D was (4, -8):
D′ = (-(-8), 4) = (8, 4)

2. If D was (-8, 4):
D′ = (-(4), -8) = (-4, -8)

3. If D was (8, 4):
D′ = (-(4), 8) = (-4, 8)

4. If D was (8, -4):
D′ = (-(-4), 8) = (4, 8)

Based on these calculations, it appears that the coordinate resulting from a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin could be either (8, 4), but we need the original coordinates of D to be sure.

From the options given, the only option that is consistent with the transformation for any original point is:

\[
\boxed{(-8, 4)}
\]

Therefore, the coordinate of D′ after the rotation is \((-8, 4)\).
