To determine the correct mapping for a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation, we can analyze how points move under this transformation.

A 270-degree counterclockwise rotation can also be viewed as a 90-degree clockwise rotation. Here's the effect of these rotations on the point (x, y):

  1. 270-degree counterclockwise rotation (or 90-degree clockwise rotation):
    • The point (x, y) transforms to (y, -x).

Thus, the correct mapping for a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation is:

(x, y) → (y, -x)

Therefore, the answer is: (x,y)→(y,−x).
