1. **State the problem:** We have a rectangle with vertices A(-3, -3), B(1, -3), C(1, -5), and D(-3, -5). We need to find the coordinates of the image after rotating the rectangle 270 degrees clockwise about the origin.
2. **Formula for rotation:** To rotate a point $(x,y)$ by 270 degrees clockwise about the origin, we use the transformation:
$$ (x,y) \to (y, -x) $$
This is because a 270-degree clockwise rotation is equivalent to a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation.
3. **Apply the rotation to each vertex:**
- For A(-3, -3):
$$ (x,y) = (-3,-3) \to (y,-x) = (-3,3) $$
- For B(1, -3):
$$ (x,y) = (1,-3) \to (y,-x) = (-3,-1) $$
- For C(1, -5):
$$ (x,y) = (1,-5) \to (y,-x) = (-5,-1) $$
- For D(-3, -5):
$$ (x,y) = (-3,-5) \to (y,-x) = (-5,3) $$
4. **Final answer:** The coordinates of the image after a 270-degree clockwise rotation are:
$$ A'(-3,3), B'(-3,-1), C'(-5,-1), D'(-5,3) $$
