To rotate points in the coordinate plane by 45° counterclockwise about the origin, you can use the following transformation formulas:

For a point \((x, y)\):
- The new x-coordinate is given by: \(x' = x \cdot \cos(45°) - y \cdot \sin(45°)\)
- The new y-coordinate is given by: \(y' = x \cdot \sin(45°) + y \cdot \cos(45°)\)

Since \(\cos(45°) = \sin(45°) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\), we can simplify the transformations to:

- \(x' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(x - y)\)
- \(y' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(x + y)\)

Now, let's apply this transformation to each vertex of the triangle JKL:

1. **Point J (-2, 0)**:
- \( x' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(-2 - 0) = -\sqrt{2} \approx -1.414\)
- \( y' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(-2 + 0) = -\sqrt{2} \approx -1.414\)
- So J' is approximately \((-1.414, -1.414)\) or \((-1.5, -1.5)\) when rounded.

2. **Point K (0, -4)**:
- \( x' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(0 + 4) = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.828\)
- \( y' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(0 - 4) = -2\sqrt{2} \approx -2.828\)
- So K' is approximately \((2.828, -2.828)\) or \((3, -3)\) when rounded.

3. **Point L (-3, -5)**:
- \( x' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(-3 + 5) = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414\)
- \( y' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(-3 - 5) = -4\sqrt{2} \approx -5.656\)
- So L' is approximately \((1.414, -5.656)\) or \((1.2, -5.7)\) when rounded.

Now we have the points J'\((-1.5, -1.5)\), K'\((3, -3)\), and L'\((1.2, -5.7)\).

Among the options provided, the graph that matches these new coordinates is the one with the points:

\((-1.5, -1.5)\), \((3, -3)\), and \((1.2, -5.7)\).

Thus, the correct graph to show the location of triangle J’K’L’ would be the first option given.
