graph and label each figure and it's image under the given reflection. give the new coordinates. you don't have to graph it for me, could you just helps with the coordinates

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Let the vertices


\begin{gathered} C(-4,7) \\ D(-2,4) \\ E(-4,1) \\ F(-6,4) \end{gathered}

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed)


P(x,y)\rightarrow reflect\text{ across y a }\xi s\rightarrow P^(\prime)(-x,y)

then, apply the rule to find the new coordinates


\begin{gathered} C(-4,7)\rightarrow C^(\prime)(4,7) \\ D(-2,4)\rightarrow D^(\prime)(2,4) \\ E(-4,1)\rightarrow E^(\prime)(4,1) \\ F(-6,4)\rightarrow F^(\prime)(6,4) \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
