Answer 1

To rotate a point around the origin (0, 0) by 90° clockwise, you can use the following transformation:

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

Now, we can determine the endpoints of the line segment given, which are (0, -3) and (0, -7):

1. For the first endpoint (0, -3):

Applying the transformation:
\[
(0, -3) \rightarrow (-3, 0)
\]

2. For the second endpoint (0, -7):

Applying the transformation:
\[
(0, -7) \rightarrow (-7, 0)
\]

Now, since the question asks for just one of the rotated endpoints, and we are given multiple-choice options, the correct rotated endpoint for the first point (0, -3) is:

\((-3, 0)\).

Thus, the answer is:

**(−3, 0)**
