The reflected figure has a counterclockwise orientation.

The orientation could be clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how you do the reflection.

Answer 1

When a triangle (or any shape) is reflected over the y-axis, the orientation of the figure will change. Since the original triangle has a counterclockwise orientation, reflecting it over the y-axis will reverse that orientation, resulting in a clockwise orientation.

So, the correct answer is:

The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
