To reflect the points A, B, and C across the y-axis, we need to change the sign of the x-coordinates while keeping the y-coordinates the same. The new coordinates can be calculated as follows:

Given the original coordinates:

  • A (1, 5)
  • B (9, 5)
  • C (7, 2)

We apply the reflection across the y-axis:

  1. For point A (1, 5):

    • A' = (-1, 5)
  2. For point B (9, 5):

    • B' = (-9, 5)
  3. For point C (7, 2):

    • C' = (-7, 2)

So, the new coordinates after reflection across the y-axis are:

  • A'(-1, 5)
  • B'(-9, 5)
  • C'(-7, 2)

These are the coordinates for points A", B", and C" after the reflection.
