New coordinates are $(- 1, - 2)$ $(-1,-2)$ , $(- 1, - 6)$ $(-1,-6)$ and $(- 5, - 4)$ $(-5,-4)$

Explanation:

A clockwise rotation of $270^{\circ}$ $270^@$ changes coordinates of a point $(x, y)$ $(x,y)$ to $(- y, x)$ $(-y,x)$

Hence a triangle's coordinates, which are $(- 2, 1)$ $(-2,1)$ , $(- 6, 1)$ $(-6,1)$ and $(- 4, 5)$ $(-4,5)$ after clockwise rotation of $270^{\circ}$ $270^@$ changes to

$(- 1, - 2)$ $(-1,-2)$ , $(- 1, - 6)$ $(-1,-6)$ and $(- 5, - 4)$ $(-5,-4)$
