ANSWER


\begin{gathered} A^(\prime)(8,6) \\ B^(\prime)(2,8) \\ C^(\prime)(1,5) \\ D^(\prime)(7,3) \end{gathered}

Step-by-step explanation

When a point is reflected across the y axis, the y coordinate stays the same but the x coordinates become the negative inverse.

The point changes as follows:


X(x,y)\Rightarrow X^(\prime)(-x,y)

Therefore, the points change as follows:


\begin{gathered} A(-8,6)\Rightarrow A^(\prime)(8,6) \\ B(-2,8)\Rightarrow B^(\prime)(2,8) \\ C(-1,5)\Rightarrow C^(\prime)(1,5) \\ D(-7,3)\Rightarrow D^(\prime)(7,3) \end{gathered}

That's the answer
