Answer 1

Given:

The vertices of triangle FGH are F(-2,1), G(1,3) and H(0,5).

To find:

The vertices of F'G'H' for a reflection over the y-axis.

Solution:

If a figure is reflected over the y-axis, then

`(x,y)\to (-x,y)`

Using this rule of reflection, we get

`F(-2,1)\to F'(-(-2),1)`

`F(-2,1)\to F'(2,1)`

Similarly,

`G(1,3)\to G'(-1,3)`

`H(0,5)\to H'(0,5)`

The vertices of F'G'H' are F'(2,1),G'(-1,3), H'(0,5). Therefore, the correct option is B.
