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

For the given points:

  1. For the point (6, -3):

    • The reflection across the y-axis is (-6, -3).
  2. For the point (3, 1):

    • The reflection across the y-axis is (-3, 1).

Therefore, the new points after reflection across the y-axis are (-6, -3) and (-3, 1).

So, the correct response is: (−6,−3) and (−3, 1).
