To find the new coordinates after a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, you can use the rotation transformation rules. For a point \((x, y)\), after a 90° counterclockwise rotation, the new coordinates \((x', y')\) will be:

\[ x' = -y \] \[ y' = x \]

Now, let's apply this to the point \(E(5, 3)\):

  1. For the x-coordinate: \[ x' = -y = -3 \]

  2. For the y-coordinate: \[ y' = x = 5 \]

Therefore, the coordinates of \(E'\) after the rotation will be \((-3, 5)\).

So, the coordinates of \(E'\) are:

\[ E' = (-3, 5) \]
