Answer:

(3, -2).

Explanation:

When you reflect across the y axis the y coordinate stays the same and the x axis changes sign : (x, y) --> (-x, y).

So B (-3, -2) --> (3, -2).

Answer: (3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation: We're reflecting to the y-axis, thus, we're going to reflect to the right.

(-x,-y) ⇒ (x,-y)

Our current coordinate is (-3,-2)...let's convert it now...

(3,-2)

I hope this helps!
