To find the coordinates of point Y after a 270-degree clockwise rotation about the origin, we can use the rotation rules for the coordinate plane.

For a 270-degree clockwise rotation, the transformation of a point (x, y) is given by:

\[ (x', y') = (y, -x) \]

Let's denote the coordinates of point Y as (x, y).

  1. Suppose the coordinates of Y are (a, b).
  2. After a 270-degree clockwise rotation, the new coordinates \( Y' \) would be \( (b, -a) \).

From the choices given, we need to identify which of the points corresponds to a 270-degree rotation of point Y.

  • If we take the first option, Y′(1, 9), it implies that Y was at the coordinates (9, -1), which does not correspond to any common transformations.
  • The second option, Y′(1, −9), implies Y was at the coordinates (−9, −1) with an incorrect transformation.
  • The third option, Y′(−1, 9), implies Y was at (9, 1), which follows the transformation of (y, -x).
  • Lastly, Y′(−9, 1) suggests Y was at (1, -9), also incorrect.

Assuming we do not know the coordinates of point Y explicitly but want the transformation of the point Y, one would need the original coordinates of Y to determine the correct location after a 270-degree clockwise rotation.

If the original coordinates of Y were known beforehand from the context or if they were clearly defined, you would apply the transformation to select the correct response given above.

Without that data, I can only conclude that:

  • The correct choice based on transformation clarification indicating a 270-degree clockwise rotation is that \( Y' \) would be \( (b, -a) \).

However, since we do not have the (x, y) coordinate of Y to input at the beginning, it’s a matter of identifying whether we assume common coordinates here from context or visual in a graph, which changes the effectiveness of responses. So, unless given the specifics in coordinates beforehand for Y, accurately choosing a response is impossible.

If the question provides Y's coordinates, you'd apply them to determine which response is correct from what we discussed above.
