When a point is reflected across the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same.

For point K with coordinates (6, 3):

  • The new x-coordinate will be -6 (change the sign of 6).
  • The y-coordinate remains the same, which is 3.

Thus, the new coordinates for the reflected point K will be (-6, 3).

So the correct response is:

(−6, 3)
left parenthesis negative 6 comma 3 right parenthesis
