To reflect a point over the y-axis, you simply change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.
Since the coordinates of point M are not given, we cannot determine the coordinates of M’ without more information.
However, we can explain the reflection transformation.
Reflecting a point over the y-axis is a type of transformation called a reflection. During a reflection, you flip the pre-image over a line called the line of reflection to create the image.
In this case, the line of reflection is the y-axis, which is the vertical line passing through the origin.
To show congruence, the pre-image and the image must have the same shape and size.
Since the point started in an undefined quadrant (since the coordinates are not given), it is not possible to determine in which quadrant the point ended after the reflection.
So, none of the given answer choices can be confirmed as the correct coordinates for M'.

Apologies for the confusion with the previous response.
To reflect a point over the y-axis, you change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.
If M is located at (x, y), reflecting it over the y-axis would result in the point M' being located at (-x, y).
In this case, since the coordinates of point M are not given, we cannot determine the exact coordinates of M'. However, we can determine the sign change and the y-coordinate will remain the same.
Looking at the answer choices, option H (-3, -4) reflects the x-coordinate over the y-axis by changing the sign to negative. This means that M' would have an x-coordinate of -(-3), which simplifies to 3. The y-coordinate remains the same as -4. Therefore, the coordinates of M' after reflecting point M over the y-axis would be (3, -4).
So, the correct answer is H. (-3, -4).
