What is reflection over the y-axis

Reflection over the y-axis is a transformation in which each point in a figure is mirrored across the y-axis.

The y-axis is the vertical axis in the cartesian coordinate system. When you reflect a point across the y-axis, its x-coordinate changes sign, while the y-coordinate remains the same.

The mirror image of each shape is on the opposites sides of the y-axis
