1. **Problem Statement:** Rotate the line segment with endpoints $(-4, -2)$ and $(-2, -1)$ by 90° clockwise about the origin.
2. **Formula for 90° Clockwise Rotation:**
For any point $(x, y)$, the coordinates after a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin are given by:
$$ (x', y') = (y, -x) $$
3. **Apply the formula to each endpoint:**
- For $(-4, -2)$:
$$ (x', y') = (-2, -(-4)) = (-2, 4) $$
- For $(-2, -1)$:
$$ (x', y') = (-1, -(-2)) = (-1, 2) $$
4. **Result:**
The rotated segment has endpoints at $(-2, 4)$ and $(-1, 2)$.
This means the segment is now positioned between these two points after the 90° clockwise rotation about the origin.
