Answer 1

To find the new points after reflecting the given points (6, -3) and (3, 1) across the y-axis, we change the sign of the x-coordinates of the points while keeping the y-coordinates the same.

1. For the point (6, -3):
- The reflection across the y-axis is (-6, -3).

2. For the point (3, 1):
- The reflection across the y-axis is (-3, 1).

So, after reflection, the two new points are (-6, -3) and (-3, 1).

The correct response is:
**(−6,−3) and (−3, 1)**.
