Answer:

The coordinates of point C' are (4, -2)

here's why:

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is taken to be the additive inverse. The reflection of point (x, y) across the y-axis is (-x, y). So if we use this information with the original coordinates, (-4, -2), the new coordinates will be (4, -2).
