Answer 1

To reflect a point in the y-axis, you need to change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.

For the point (4, 1):
- The x-coordinate 4 becomes -4.
- The y-coordinate 1 stays the same.

Therefore, the image of the point (4, 1) reflected in the y-axis is (-4, 1).

The correct response is:
(−4,1)
