To rotate a point counterclockwise around the origin (0, 0) by 270 degrees, you can use the following transformation for the coordinates (x, y):

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

Given point A (2, 4), let's apply the transformation:

  1. Identify x and y: Here, x = 2 and y = 4.
  2. Apply the transformation:
    • New x-coordinate = y = 4
    • New y-coordinate = -x = -2

Therefore, the new point after rotating point A (2, 4) by 270 degrees counterclockwise is (4, -2).

So the correct response is:

(4,−2)
