Answer: The answer is (B). K'(-6,-4) and L(-3,-3).
Step-by-step explanation: In the figure, the parallelogram JKLM is drawn on a co-ordinate plane. Here, the co-ordinates of points K and L are (-4,6) and (-3,3) respectively.
Now, when we rotate the parallelogram about the origin through 270° , then we have to make a jump of three consecutive quadrants,.ie., presently we are in the fourth quadrant, so we will the resulting co-ordinates in the third quadrant and so both x and y co-ordinates of the new points will be negative. Also, the x-co-ordinate and y-co-ordinates of both the points K and L will get reversed. Please see the attached figure.
Thus, the new co-ordinates of K and L are K'(-6,-4) and L(-3,-3).
