If it is reflected over the y axis the new points would be (-2,3) because it is being reflected over the y-axis the only thing that is going to change is the x-axis

Answer: The new location of point A is (-2, 3).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a point A is reflected over the y-axis and its original location was (2,3).

We are to find the new location of point A.

We know that

if a point (x, y) is reflected across the y-axis, the sign before the x co-ordinate changes.

That is,

(x, y) ⇒ (-x, y).

Therefore, for point (2, 3), the new location is given by

(2, 3) ⇒ (-2, 3).

Thus, the new location of point A is (-2, 3).
