Answer 2

The coordinates of the image triangle are A'(3,3), B'(-3,2), C'(1,-4).

Explanation:

Given Triangle ABC has coordinates A(-3,3), B(3,2) and C(-1,-4).

If the triangle is reflected over the y-axis, we can use the following rule:-

P_y-axis (x, y) → P'(-x, y)

Using the above rule, we can find the coordinates of the image triangle as follows:-

A (-3, 3) → A' (3, 3)

B (3, 2) → B' (-3, 2)

C (-1, -4) → C' (1, -4)

Hence, the coordinates of the image triangle are A'(3,3), B'(-3,2), C'(1,-4).
