Answer:

The coordinates of A'' are (-2 , -5) ⇒ answer A

Explanation:

* Lets revise some transformation

- If point (x , y) reflected across the x-axis

∴ Its image is (x , -y)

- If point (x , y) reflected across the y-axis

∴ Its image is (-x , y)

- If point (x , y) reflected across the line y = x

∴ Its image is (y , x)

- If point (x , y) reflected across the line y = -x

∴ Its image is (-y , -x)

* Now lets solve the problem

- The vertices of triangle ABC are:

A is (2 , -5) , B is (1 , -3) , C is (5 , -3)

∵ The triangle is reflected across the y-axis

∴ The x- coordinates of the three point are changed to opposite sign

∵ A is (2 , -5)

∴ its image A" is (-2 , -5)

* The coordinates of A'' are (-2 , -5)
