What is (-4 5) counterclockwise 270?
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.

AnswerIt depends on the manufacturer.AnswerIf they are "fluted" handles (uniform throughout their perimeter), they should both turn clockwise to shut off. If they are "wing" handles (a blade sticks out, somewhere on their perimeter), then the wings should push outward to turn off, and inward to turn on.
