Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When talking about reflection, we usually mean reflecting across a line, or axis. Reflecting a shape means looking at the mirror image on the other side of the axis. Consider the point (x,y), if you reflect this point across the y-axis you should multiply the x-coordinate by -1, so you get:

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)[/tex]

For triangle ABC we have:

[tex]A(-4,2) \\ \\ B(-1,3) \\ \\ C(-1,-4)[/tex]

Therefore, the reflecting points are:

[tex]A'(4,2) \\ \\ B(1,3) \\ \\ C(1,-4)[/tex]

Both the original triangle and the reflected one are shown below.
