To find the reflected endpoints of the line segment across the y-axis, we need to change the x-coordinates of the endpoints to their negatives, while keeping the y-coordinates the same.

For the endpoint (1, 1):

  • The reflected point is (-1, 1).

For the endpoint (4, 4):

  • The reflected point is (-4, 4).

So the reflected endpoints are (-1, 1) and (-4, 4).

The correct response is: (−1, 1) and (−4, 4).
