(−6, −4)
To rotate a point 90 degrees clockwise about the origin, we can swap the x and y coordinates while changing the sign of the new x coordinate.
The original point is (-4, -6). Swapping the x and y coordinates gives us (-6, -4), and changing the sign of the new x coordinate gives us (6, -4).
Therefore, the new point after rotating 90 degrees clockwise about the origin is (6, -4).
The correct answer is: (6, -4)
