reflect abc over the y axis

a=(-1,2)
b=(2,1)
c=(4,5)

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

Let's reflect each of the points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \):

  1. Point A (-1, 2):

    • The reflection over the y-axis will be \( A' = (1, 2) \).
  2. Point B (2, 1):

    • The reflection over the y-axis will be \( B' = (-2, 1) \).
  3. Point C (4, 5):

    • The reflection over the y-axis will be \( C' = (-4, 5) \).

So, the reflected points are:

  • \( A' = (1, 2) \)
  • \( B' = (-2, 1) \)
  • \( C' = (-4, 5) \)
