Consider te matrix acting on a vector [x , y]:
[0 1] [ x] [ y]
[-1 0] [ y ] = [-x]
If you define a new coordinate system in R2 such that
x' = x*cos(q) + y*sin(q) y' = -x*sin(q) + y*cos(q) where q is a rotation of the x-y axis then
x' = y = x*cos(q) + y*sin(q) y' = -x = -x*sin(q) + y*cos(q) and setting q = pi/2 givens
x' = y y' = -x
so this matrix is a rotation of the x-y coordinate axis by pi/2
