Answer:

Explanation:

Anytime a reflection takes place across the y axis, the x value does the changing. It's sign becomes the opposite of what it is now.

In plainer language,

  • the x value = 4
  • It's reflected across the y axis.
  • It's value becomes - 4
  • X' = (-4,-5)
  • The y value of the point does not change.
