The transformation ABCD → A'B'C'D' is a rotation around (-1, 2) by °
Rotate P around (-1, 2) by the same angle. (You may need to sketch things out on paper.)
P' = ( ,)
Solution

Each point has been rotated around (-1, 2) by 180°.
A(-1, 9) → A'(-1, -5)
P(-6, -7) → P'(4, 11)
Since this is a rotation by an increment of 90°, we can figure out P' graphically by forming a right triangle with its hypotenuse connecting the pivot and point P. This should make it easy to draw the rotated P'. Your before and after triangles should both have legs of length 5 and 9, since P(-6, -7) is 5 from pivot (-1, 2) in the x direction and 9 from it in the y direction.

The transformation ABCD → A'B'C'D' is a rotation around (-1, -3) by °
Rotate P around (-1, -3) by the same angle. (You may need to sketch things out on paper.)
P' = ( ,)
Solution

Each point has been rotated around (-1, -3) by 180°.
A(7, 10) → A'(-9, -16)
P(0, 7) → P'(-2, -13)
Since this is a rotation by an increment of 90°, we can figure out P' graphically by forming a right triangle with its hypotenuse connecting the pivot and point P. This should make it easy to draw the rotated P'. Your before and after triangles should both have legs of length 1 and 10, since P(0, 7) is 1 from pivot (-1, -3) in the x direction and 10 from it in the y direction.

Transformation ABCD → A'B'C'D' is a reflection across the line
e.g. y=-3, y=x.
Reflect P over the same line. (You may need to sketch things out on paper.)
P' = ( ,)
Solution

P is at (2, 5). Since the line of reflection is y = x, reflecting a point comes down to switching the x and y coordinates.

All points are transformed by a rotation of 15° around (1, 1)
followed by another rotation of 75° around the same point.
Combined angle of rotation around (1, 1): °
Rotate P around (1, 1) by the same angles. (You may need to sketch things out on paper.)
P'' = ( ,)
Solution
15° + 75° = 90
Since this is a rotation by an increment of 90°, we can figure out P'' graphically by forming a right triangle with its hypotenuse connecting the pivot and point P. This should make it easy to draw the rotated P''. Your before and after triangles should both have legs of length 3 and 5, since P(4, -4) is 3 from pivot (1, 1) in the x direction and 5 from it in the y direction.

Combined angle of rotation around (3, 3): °
Rotate P around (3, 3) by the same angles. (You may need to sketch things out on paper.)
P'' = ( ,)
Solution
60° + 30° = 90
Since this is a rotation by an increment of 90°, we can figure out P'' graphically by forming a right triangle with its hypotenuse connecting the pivot and point P. This should make it easy to draw the rotated P''. Your before and after triangles should both have legs of length 2 and 11, since P(5, -8) is 2 from pivot (3, 3) in the x direction and 11 from it in the y direction.
