Answer:
X''(2, -5), Y''(3, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that reflection in the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate. Points that used to be above the axis are now below by the same amount, and vice versa.
Rotation counterclockwise by 270° is the same as clockwise rotation by 90°. That maps the coordinates like this:
(x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)
The two transformations together give you ...
(x, y) ⇒ (x, -y) ⇒ (-y, -x) . . . . . . . . equivalent to reflection across y=-x.
Using this mapping, we have ...
X(5, -2) ⇒ X''(2, -5)
Y(3, -3) ⇒ Y''(3, -3) . . . . . . on the equivalent line of reflection, so invariant

The attachment shows the original segment in red, the reflected segment in purple, and the rotated segment in blue. The equivalent line of reflection is shown as a dashed green line.
