1. **State the problem:** We have a triangle with vertices A(0, 2), B(-10, 1), and C(-9, 6). We need to rotate this triangle 270° clockwise about the origin.
2. **Formula for rotation:** Rotating a point $(x,y)$ 270° clockwise about the origin is equivalent to rotating it 90° counterclockwise. The formula for 90° counterclockwise rotation is:
$$ (x,y) \to (-y, x) $$
3. **Apply the rotation to each vertex:**
- For A(0, 2):
$$ (0, 2) \to (-2, 0) $$
- For B(-10, 1):
$$ (-10, 1) \to (-1, -10) $$
- For C(-9, 6):
$$ (-9, 6) \to (-6, -9) $$
4. **Final rotated coordinates:**
- A' = (-2, 0)
- B' = (-1, -10)
- C' = (-6, -9)
These are the new vertices of the triangle after a 270° clockwise rotation about the origin.
