A sequence of transformations is to be performed on ∆RST. The first part of the
sequence of transformations is to rotate the triangle 90° counterclockwise about
the point (0, 0).

What are the coordinates of R’,S' and T' ?

R’(1, 2), S’(3, 5), and T’(7, 3)

R’(-1, -2), S’(-3,- 5), and T’(-7, -3)

R’(2,1), S’(5,3), and T’(3,7)

R’(-2,1), S’(-5,3), and T’-(3,7)

To solve this, let’s recall the rule for a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, \((0, 0)\). When a point \((x, y)\) is rotated 90° counterclockwise, its coordinates transform as follows:

\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x)
\]

Using this rule, we’ll apply the transformation to each point in \(\triangle RST\).

If the problem had provided initial coordinates of \(R\), \(S\), and \(T\), we would calculate the transformations directly. Since we only have options, we’ll apply the rotation rule to each given option to check which matches a 90° counterclockwise rotation.

Let's analyze each option:

1. **Option 1: \( R'(1, 2), S'(3, 5), T'(7, 3) \)**
    - Rotation does not match \((-y, x)\), so this is **not** the correct answer.

2. **Option 2: \( R'(-1, -2), S'(-3, -5), T'(-7, -3) \)**
    - This represents a 180° rotation, not 90° counterclockwise, so this is **not** the correct answer.

3. **Option 3: \( R'(2,1), S'(5,3), T'(3,7) \)**
    - This option shows the points in a \( (y, x) \) format, not \((-y, x)\), so it’s **incorrect**.

4. **Option 4: \( R'(-2,1), S'(-5,3), T'(-3,7) \)**
    - This option shows points transformed by the rule \((-y, x)\), so **Option 4** is correct.

**Answer:**
The correct coordinates of \( R'\), \( S'\), and \( T'\) after a 90° counterclockwise rotation about \((0,0)\) are:

\[
R'(-2,1), S'(-5,3), T'(-3,7)
\]
