The point $(-1, -2)$ is rotated $270^{\circ}$ counterclockwise about the point $(3, 1)$. What are the coordinates of its new position?
$\textbf{(A)}\ (-3, -4) \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ (0,5) \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ (2,-1) \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ (4,3) \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ (6,-3)$
$(-1,-2)$ is $4$ units west and $3$ units south of $(3,1)$. Performing a counterclockwise rotation of $270^{\circ}$, which is equivalent to a clockwise rotation of $90^{\circ}$, the answer is $3$ units west and $4$ units north of $(3,1)$, or $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ (0,5)}$.
