First, we need to locate the points J, A and R:

J is in red, A is in green and R is in purple.

Now to make a reflection across the y-axis, we need to multiply the x-coordinate of each point by (-1):


\begin{gathered} J(2,5)\Rightarrow J^(\prime)(-2,5) \\ A(6,6)\Rightarrow A^(\prime)(-6,6) \\ R(4,2)\Rightarrow R^(\prime)(-4,6) \end{gathered}

And we get:

Which is the reflection across the y-axis
