.(1 point)
Responses

P′(2,7)
upper P prime left parenthesis 2 comma 7 right parenthesis

P′(7,2)
upper P prime left parenthesis 7 comma 2 right parenthesis

P′(2,−7)
upper P prime left parenthesis 2 comma negative 7 right parenthesis

P′(−2,−7)

Answer 1

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

For the point P(−2,7):

- The x-coordinate of P is -2, which becomes 2 after reflection.
- The y-coordinate remains 7.

Therefore, the coordinates of P′ after reflection over the y-axis are P′(2,7).

So the correct response is:

**P′(2,7)**.
