An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x-axis extending from negative 9 to 9 in increments of 1 and the y-axis extending from negative 11 to 11 in increments of 1. A triangle A B C is plotted on the graph. The triangle A B C has its vertices marked with closed points at A left parenthesis 2 comma negative 1 right parenthesis, B left parenthesis 6 comma negative 3 right parenthesis, and C left parenthesis 1 comma negative 3 right parenthesis.

To reflect triangle ABC with vertices A(2, -1), B(6, -3), and C(1, -3) across the x-axis and then the y-axis, we follow these steps:

  1. Reflect across the x-axis: To reflect a point (x, y) across the x-axis, the new coordinates become (x, -y).

    • A(2, -1) becomes A'(2, 1)
    • B(6, -3) becomes B'(6, 3)
    • C(1, -3) becomes C'(1, 3)
  2. Reflect across the y-axis: To reflect a point (x, y) across the y-axis, the new coordinates become (-x, y).

    • A'(2, 1) becomes A''(-2, 1)
    • B'(6, 3) becomes B''(-6, 3)
    • C'(1, 3) becomes C''(-1, 3)

Thus, the final coordinates of the reflected vertices A'', B'', and C'' are:

  • A''(-2, 1)
  • B''(-6, 3)
  • C''(-1, 3)

Therefore, the vertices of triangle A′B′C′ are: A′(−2,1), B′(−6,3), and C′(−1,3).

The correct response is: "The vertices of triangle A′B′C′ are A′(−2,1), B′(−6,3), and C′(−1,3)."
