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

Given the points:

  1. (6, -3)
  2. (3, 1)

Reflecting these points across the y-axis:

  1. (6, -3) becomes (-6, -3)
  2. (3, 1) becomes (-3, 1)

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

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