i have to reflect A(-3,3) B(-3,-2 and C(0,0) across the y-axis. The answers should be a'(3,3) b'(3,-2) and c'(0,0) right?

Answer

You're correct.

Step-by-step explanation

When a given point with coordinates A (x, y) is reflected over the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same and the x-coordinate takes up a negative in front of it. That is, A (x, y) changes after being reflected across the y-axis in this way

A (x, y) = A' (-x, y)

So, for each of these,

A (-3, 3) = A' (3, 3)

B (-3, -2) = B' (3, -2)

C (0, 0) = C' (0, 0)

Hope this Helps!!!
