$C=(-5,-27/2)$

Explanation:

$"under a counterclockwise rotation about the origin of "pi$

$• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,-y)$

$rArrA(2,7)toA'(-2,-7)" where A' is the image of A"$

$rArrvec(CB)=color(red)(3)vec(CA')$

$rArrulb-ulc=3(ula'-ulc)$

$rArrulb-ulc=3ula'-3ulc$

$rArr2ulc=3ula'-ulb$

$color(white)(rArr2ulc)=3((-2),(-7))-((4),(6))$

$color(white)(rArr2ulc)=((-6),(-21))-((4),(6))=((-10),(-27))$

$rArrulc=1/2((-10),(-27))=((-5),(-27/2))$

$rArrC=(-5,-27/2)$
