Explanation:

Step1: Find original coordinates

First, identify the original coordinates of points \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \) from the graph.
- For point \( B \): Looking at the grid, \( B \) is at \( (-3, 3) \).
- For point \( C \): \( C \) is at \( (4, 1) \) (wait, no, let's re - check. Wait, the x - axis and y - axis: Let's see the grid. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the standard 90 - degree counterclockwise rotation rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). Let's correctly find the original coordinates.
Looking at the graph:
- Point \( B \): From the origin, moving left 3 units (x=-3) and up 3 units (y = 3), so \( B(-3,3) \).
- Point \( C \): Moving right 4 units? Wait, no, the x - coordinate: Let's count the squares. Wait, the x - axis: from origin, right is positive. Let's see, point \( C \) is at (4,1)? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the y - coordinate for \( C \): it's on y = 1? Wait, no, the grid lines. Wait, maybe the original coordinates are:
Wait, let's look again. The point \( B \): x=-3, y = 3 (so \( B(-3,3) \)). Point \( C \): x = 4? No, wait, the x - axis: the grid has marks at - 3, 0, 3. Wait, maybe \( C \) is at (4,1)? No, perhaps I made a mistake. Wait, the 90 - degree counterclockwise rotation formula is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). Let's check the options.
Wait, let's take the first option: \( B'(3,3) \), \( C'(1, - 4) \), \( D'(-2,0) \). Let's reverse - engineer. If \( B'(-y,x) \), then if \( B'=(3,3) \), then original \( B \) would be \( (x,y) \) such that \(-y = 3\) and \( x = 3\), so \( y=-3\), \( x = 3\), but original \( B \) is at (-3,3). So that's not. Wait, maybe I got the rotation formula wrong. Wait, 90 - degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin: the rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). Let's take original point \( (x,y) \), after rotation, it becomes \( (-y,x) \).
Let's find original coordinates:
- Point \( B \): From the graph, \( B \) is at \( (-3,3) \). Applying rotation: \( x=-3 \), \( y = 3 \). So new \( B'=(-y,x)=(-3,-3) \)? No, wait, \(-y=-3\), \( x=-3 \)? No, wait, no: \( (x,y)=(-3,3) \), so \(-y=-3\), \( x=-3 \)? No, the formula is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). So \( x=-3 \), \( y = 3 \), so \(-y=-3\), \( x=-3 \)? Wait, no, \((x,y)\) rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise is \((-y,x)\). So for \( (x=-3,y = 3) \), \(-y=-3\), \( x=-3 \)? No, that would be \((-3,-3)\)? Wait, no, let's take a simple point, like (1,0). Rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise is (0,1). Using the formula: \( x = 1\), \( y = 0\), so \(-y = 0\), \( x = 1\), so (0,1), which is correct. Another point: (0,1) rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise is (-1,0). Using formula: \( x = 0\), \( y = 1\), so \(-y=-1\), \( x = 0\), so (-1,0), correct. Another point: (1,1) rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise is (-1,1). Wait, no: (1,1) rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise is (-1,1)? Wait, no, the correct rotation of (1,1) 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin is (-1,1)? Wait, no, let's use the rotation matrix. The rotation matrix for 90 degrees counterclockwise is \(\begin{pmatrix}0&-1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}\). So for vector \(\begin{pmatrix}x\\y\end{pmatrix}\), the rotated vector is \(\begin{pmatrix}-y\\x\end{pmatrix}\). So for (1,1), it's \(\begin{pmatrix}-1\\1\end{pmatrix}\), which is (-1,1). Correct.
Now, let's find original coordinates of \( B \), \( C \), \( D \):
- Point \( B \): From the graph, \( B \) is at (-3, 3). So \( x=-3 \), \( y = 3 \). Applying rotation: \((-y,x)=(-3,-3)\)? Wait, no, \(-y=-3\), \( x=-3 \)? Wait, no, \( x=-3 \), \( y = 3 \), so \(-y=-3\), \( x=-3 \), so \( B'=(-3,-3) \)? Wait, but let's check the options. The second option has \( B'(-3,-3) \). Let's check point \( C \).
- Point \( C \): Let's find original \( C \). From the graph, \( C \) is at (4,1)? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the x - coordinate: let's count the squares. From origin (0,0), moving right 4 units? No, the grid has marks at - 3, 0, 3. Wait, maybe \( C \) is at (4,1) is wrong. Wait, maybe \( C \) is at (1,4)? No, that doesn't make sense. Wait, let's look at the y - coordinate. Point \( C \) is on y = 1? No, the graph shows \( C \) is at (4,1)? Wait, no, perhaps the original coordinates are:
Wait, the point \( D \): from the graph, \( D \) is at (0, - 2). So original \( D(0,-2) \). Applying rotation: \((-y,x)=(2,0)\). Ah! So \( D'=(2,0) \). Let's check the options. The second option has \( D'(2,0) \). Now check \( C \): original \( C \) should be (4,1)? No, wait, if \( C'=(-1,4) \), then using the rotation formula \((-y,x)=(-1,4)\), so \( x = 4\), \( -y=-1\Rightarrow y = 1\). So original \( C(4,1) \). Let's check \( B \): if \( B'=(-3,-3) \), then \((-y,x)=(-3,-3)\), so \( x=-3\), \( -y=-3\Rightarrow y = 3\). So original \( B(-3,3) \), which matches the graph.
- So original coordinates:
- \( B(-3,3) \)
- \( C(4,1) \) (wait, no, if \( C'=(-1,4) \), then original \( C \) is \( (x,y) \) where \(-y=-1\) and \( x = 4 \)? Wait, no, \((-y,x)=(-1,4)\) implies \( -y=-1\Rightarrow y = 1\) and \( x = 4 \). So original \( C(4,1) \).
- \( D(0,-2) \), so \( D'=(-(-2),0)=(2,0) \) (using the formula \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\), so \( x = 0\), \( y=-2\), so \(-y = 2\), \( x = 0\), so \( D'(2,0) \))
- Now, applying the 90 - degree counterclockwise rotation formula \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\) to each point:
- For \( B(-3,3) \): \( -y=-3 \), \( x=-3 \), so \( B'(-3,-3) \)
- For \( C(4,1) \): \( -y=-1 \), \( x = 4 \), so \( C'(-1,4) \)
- For \( D(0,-2) \): \( -y = 2 \), \( x = 0 \), so \( D'(2,0) \)

Step2: Match with options

Now, we check the options. The second option is \( B'(-3,-3) \), \( C'(-1,4) \), \( D'(2,0) \), which matches our calculated rotated points.

Answer:

B. \( B'(-3,-3) \), \( C'(-1,4) \), \( D'(2,0) \)
