Answer:

see attached

Explanation:

You are being asked to draw the reflection of the triangle DKW.

As with a reflection in a mirror, the reflected object appears to be as far behind the mirror as the original object is in front of the mirror.

When you reflect a point across a line, the image is as far from the line on the other side as the original point is from the line. When the line of reflection is a vertical line, as here (x = 0 = y-axis), the y-coordinates are unchanged.

Points W and K are 2 units to the right of the y-axis. Their reflections will lie on the same horizontal line, but will be 2 units to the left of the y-axis.

Point D is 5 units to the right of the y-axis, so its reflection will be 5 units to the left.

Additional comment

The original triangle and its reflection are symmetrical about the line of reflection.
