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

Given the points (6, -3) and (3, 1):

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

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

    • Reflecting across the y-axis: (-3, 1)

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

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