To reflect the triangle ABC across the x-axis and the y-axis, we can follow these steps:

  1. Reflect across the x-axis: This changes the y-coordinates of each vertex to their negatives.
  2. Reflect across the y-axis: This changes the x-coordinates of each vertex to their negatives.

Let's apply these transformations to each vertex of triangle ABC:

Original Vertices:

  • A = (2, -1)
  • B = (6, -3)
  • C = (1, -3)

Step 1: Reflect across the x-axis:

  • A: (2, -(-1)) = (2, 1)
  • B: (6, -(-3)) = (6, 3)
  • C: (1, -(-3)) = (1, 3)

Step 2: Reflect across the y-axis:

  • A': (-2, 1)
  • B': (-6, 3)
  • C': (-1, 3)

Thus, the vertices of triangle A'B'C' after both reflections are:

  • A' = (-2, 1)
  • B' = (-6, 3)
  • C' = (-1, 3)

The correct response is: The vertices of triangle A′B′C′ are A′(−2,1), B′(−6,3), and C′(−1,3).
