1. **State the problem:** Rotate the polygon with vertices A(0, -3), B(-6, 0), C(-7, -10), and D(-3, -9) by 270° clockwise around the origin.
2. **Formula for rotation:** Rotating a point $(x,y)$ by 270° clockwise is equivalent to rotating it 90° counterclockwise. The formula for 90° counterclockwise rotation is:
$$ (x', y') = (-y, x) $$
3. **Apply the formula to each vertex:**
- For A(0, -3):
$$ (x', y') = (-(-3), 0) = (3, 0) $$
- For B(-6, 0):
$$ (x', y') = (-(0), -6) = (0, -6) $$
- For C(-7, -10):
$$ (x', y') = (-(-10), -7) = (10, -7) $$
- For D(-3, -9):
$$ (x', y') = (-(-9), -3) = (9, -3) $$
4. **Final rotated coordinates:**
- A' = (3, 0)
- B' = (0, -6)
- C' = (10, -7)
- D' = (9, -3)
The polygon after rotation 270° clockwise has vertices at these new points.
