Rotating by 90 ° in a clockwise direction about the origin

Cartesian plane shown with two right-angled triangles ABC and A' B' C'.
Detailed description

We see:

\(A(4, 4) \rightarrow A^\prime (4, −4); B(3, 6) \rightarrow B^\prime (6, −3); C(5, 7) \rightarrow C^\prime (7, −5)\).

Question 4

The rectangle \(ABCD\) is rotated clockwise by 90 ° around the origin to form rectangle \(A^\prime B^\prime C^\prime D^\prime\).

The coordinates of each of the vertices of \(ABCD\) are as follows:

\(A(1, 6), B(1, 9), C(2, 9), D(2, 6)\).

Give the \(x\)-coordinate and the \(y\)-coordinate of:
