The points of the image after the reflection would be Z'(-1, 0), S'(-3, 2), and B'(-3, -3).

How to reflect the image ?

Reflecting a shape across the y-axis involves flipping it over the y-axis. This transformation changes the x-coordinates of the points, while the y-coordinates remain the same.

The rule for reflection across the y-axis is:

If a point has coordinates x, y, its reflection across the y-axis will have coordinates -x, y.

Apply this to the vertices of triangle BSZ:

Vertex Z (1, 0) Its reflection across the y-axis will be at (-1, 0).

Vertex S (3, 2) Its reflection across the y-axis will be at (-3, 2).

Vertex B (3, -3) Its reflection across the y-axis will be at (-3, -3).

The reflected triangle, will have vertices at Z'(-1, 0), S'(-3, 2), and B'(-3, -3)
