To find the endpoint of the rotated segment, we need to apply the properties of rotations.

First, let's find the midpoint of the line segment by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates:

Midpoint = ((0+0)/2, (-3+(-7))/2)
Midpoint = (0, -5)

Next, let's find the distance from the midpoint to one of the endpoints:

Distance = (-7 - (-5))
Distance = -2

Since we are rotating 90° clockwise, the new y-coordinate will be the negative of the distance, and the new x-coordinate will be the same as the midpoint's y-coordinate.

Endpoint = (0, -5) rotated 90° clockwise
Endpoint = (5, 0)

Therefore, the endpoint of the rotated segment is O(5, 0).
are you sure?
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's correctly determine the endpoint of the rotated segment.

To rotate a point clockwise about the origin (0,0) by 90 degrees, we can use the following rotation matrix:

[x', y'] = [x*cos(θ) - y*sin(θ), x*sin(θ) + y*cos(θ)]

For a 90 degree clockwise rotation, θ = -90 degrees or -π/2 radians.

Plugging in the coordinates (0, -7) into the rotation matrix, we get:
[x', y'] = [0*cos(-π/2) - (-7)*sin(-π/2), 0*sin(-π/2) + (-7)*cos(-π/2)]
= [0 - (-7*1), 0 + 0]
= [7, 0]

Therefore, the endpoint of the line segment after a 90 degree clockwise rotation would be O(7, 0).
that isnt one of the answers
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's reassess the problem correctly.

To rotate a point in the coordinate plane 90 degrees clockwise, we can use the following transformation:

For a point (x, y), the rotated point (x', y') can be found using the following equations:

x' = y
y' = -x

Let's apply this transformation to the given endpoints (0, -3) and (0, -7):

For the point (0, -3):
x' = -3
y' = 0

For the point (0, -7):
x' = -7
y' = 0

Therefore, the endpoint of the rotated segment is O(-3, 0).
