Triangle ABC is reflected over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the reflected triangle?

As the other guy said, you just need to kind of convert the values. If point a is, say, 3,1, then if it was reflected over the y-axis, it'd be -3,-1, and so on. Hope this helped!

Well...you haven't given any values,but:

When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the signs of the x-coordinates are reversed while the signs of the y-coordinates remain the same.

Example:

Let's say point A is (3,5). When you reflect it over the y-axis, it becomes (-3,5).

Hope this helps!
