To rotate the point \((4, 1)\) by \(90^\circ\) counterclockwise around the origin, you can apply the rotation formula:
\[ (x', y') = (-y, x) \]
Applying this to the point \((4, 1)\):
- The new \(x\) coordinate will be \(-y\), which is \(-1\).
- The new \(y\) coordinate will be \(x\), which is \(4\).
Thus, the point \((4, 1)\) after a \(90^\circ\) counterclockwise rotation becomes:
\[ (-1, 4) \]
So, the final answer is \((-1, 4)\).
