Answer

The coordinates of the resulting point, D' = (5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation

When a given point with coordinates A (x, y) is reflected over the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same and the x-coordinate takes up a negative in front of it. That is, A (x, y) changes after being reflected across the y-axis in this way

A (x, y) = A' (-x, y)

So, for this question where the coordinate is D (-5, -3). it changes in the manner,

D (-5, -3) = D' (-(-5), -3) = D' (5, -3)

Hope this Helps!!!
