To find the reflections of the endpoints (1, 1) and (4, 4) across the y-axis, you simply negate the x-coordinates of each point while keeping the y-coordinates the same.

  1. Reflecting the point (1, 1):

    • x-coordinate: 1 becomes -1
    • y-coordinate: remains 1
    • Reflected point: (-1, 1)
  2. Reflecting the point (4, 4):

    • x-coordinate: 4 becomes -4
    • y-coordinate: remains 4
    • Reflected point: (-4, 4)

Therefore, the reflected endpoints are (-1, 1) and (-4, 4).

The correct response is: (−1, 1) and (−4, 4).
