If a triangle has an initial orientation that is counterclockwise (CCW) and is reflected over the y-axis, its orientation changes to clockwise (CW).
Here's the reasoning:
1. **Initial Orientation (Counterclockwise)**: The triangle's vertices are arranged in a way that they create a CCW rotation around its centroid.
2. **Reflection over the y-axis**: When the triangle is reflected over the y-axis, the positions of its vertices are flipped horizontally. This changes the order of the vertices in a way that reverses the orientation.
Thus, after reflecting the triangle over the y-axis, the orientation becomes clockwise.
