To correct a reflection over the y-axis, you generally want to ensure that each point of the figure is reflected accordingly. In a proper reflection over the y-axis, the x-coordinates of all points should change their signs (i.e., a point \((x, y)\) would become \((-x, y)\)).

If the reflection looks incorrect, it might be because the entire figure is shifted incorrectly. However, the options given pertain only to shifting the figure without addressing the fundamental issue of the reflection itself.

If the entire reflected figure appears to be misaligned in a particular direction, you would choose the appropriate option based on the visual distortion. Here are some guidelines:

  • If the figure is too far right or left compared to where it should be after reflection, you may suggest shifting it by 1 unit to the left or right.
  • If it's vertically misplaced, you'd shift it up or down.

Without a specific description of how the figure appears, it is difficult to determine the exact correction needed. Please notice the original position of the figure, and then select an adjustment option based on the observed misalignment due to the reflection error.
