Answer:

(-2, 2)

Explanation:

Take point (3, 2) and first translate it left one unit. Now the point is (2, 2)

Now reflect it over the y-axis. Doing so keeps the y value the same, we have a vertical line of reflection, so we are only changing the distance to the y-axis, which is the x-value.

Our x value is 2 units away from the y axis, so its reflection will be 2 units away on the other side of the axis.

The new x value is -2, so the point is (-2, 2)
