Final answer:

To find the image of PNB under a glide reflection with the point (0,-3) and reflection line x = 0, the point first remains unchanged after reflection. For the glide (translation part), a specific direction and distance would be needed, which is not provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to find the image of a point under a glide reflection. In mathematics, a glide reflection is a type of transformation combining a reflection across a line and a translation along that line. Given the point PNB as (0,-3) and the reflection line as x = 0, the reflection of PNB would result in the point remaining the same, since it lies on the line of reflection. Therefore, the reflected point is also (0, -3).

For the translation part of the glide reflection, a specific direction and distance are usually specified to determine the image. Since the distance and direction have not been provided in the question, we cannot complete the glide reflection. However, if this information were given, you would apply a translation by moving the point the specified distance in the specified direction along the x-axis, creating the final image of PNB after the glide reflection.
