When a point is reflected in the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same.

For the point (4, 1):

  • The x-coordinate (4) becomes -4.
  • The y-coordinate (1) remains 1.

So, the coordinates of the image after the reflection in the y-axis are (-4, 1).

The correct response is:

(-4, 1)
