An illustration shows a coordinate plane. The x-axis and the y-axis range from negative 1 to 6 in one unit increments. Four points are plotted. The points are connected to form a quadrilateral. Point A is plotted at the coordinates left parenthesis 3 comma 6 right parenthesis, Point B is plotted at left parenthesis 3 comma 2 right parenthesis, point C is plotted at left parenthesis 6 comma 2 right parenthesis, and point D is plotted at left parenthesis 5 comma 6 right parenthesis. Points A and B, points B and C, points C and D, and points D and A are connected by line segments to form quadrilateral A B C D.The shape is reflected over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the point D′?(1 point)

To reflect a point over the y-axis, you negate the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.

Point D is at the coordinates (5, 6).

When we reflect Point D over the y-axis:

  1. The x-coordinate changes from 5 to -5.
  2. The y-coordinate remains the same at 6.

So, the coordinates of the reflected point D′ are (-5, 6).
