If you imagine moving the second hand of a clock in a natural numerical direction (i.e. past 1, then 2, then 3, then 4 etc), that is clockwise. The direction of a clock is clockwise. Past the 1, then 2, then 3 etc. Or past the 90 degree, then 180, then 270 degree marks. The opposite direction of clockwise is anticlockwise or counterclockwise (both words mean the same). If you apply the term clockwise to hurricanes or other circular-motion phenomena, it is a movement analogous to clock movement, past the 90 degree, then 180 degree, then 270, then 360 degree marks.

Oh, dude, you're throwing some math lingo at me like I'm supposed to care. So, when you rotate (-4, 5) counterclockwise by 270 degrees, you're basically just flipping it around like a pancake on a Sunday morning. The new coordinates would be (5, 4). Cool, right?
It is (6, 1).
270 degrees is 3/4 of the way around the circle. Ir is the same as rotating it 90 degrees (1/4) of the way clockwise. Turn it so anything that was pointing straight up would be pointing to the right.
All but 4.
4 does not.
You went 360o in the same direction, so you end up with a circle.
