1. **Problem statement:** Rotate rhombus ABCD with vertices A(1,0), B(6,-2), C(8,-7), and D(3,-5) by 90° counterclockwise about the origin.
2. **Formula for 90° counterclockwise rotation:**
$$ (x,y) \to (-y,x) $$
This means each point's new coordinates are found by swapping $x$ and $y$ and changing the sign of the original $y$.
3. **Apply the rotation to each vertex:**
- For A(1,0):
$$ A' = (-0,1) = (0,1) $$
- For B(6,-2):
$$ B' = (-(-2),6) = (2,6) $$
- For C(8,-7):
$$ C' = (-(-7),8) = (7,8) $$
- For D(3,-5):
$$ D' = (-(-5),3) = (5,3) $$
4. **Final rotated vertices:**
$$ A'(0,1), B'(2,6), C'(7,8), D'(5,3) $$
These are the coordinates of the rhombus after a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin.
