To find the vertices of triangle \( A'B'C' \) after reflecting triangle \( ABC \) across the x-axis and the y-axis, we follow these steps:

  1. Reflect across the x-axis: This changes the sign of the y-coordinate of each vertex.
  2. Reflect across the y-axis: This changes the sign of the x-coordinate of each vertex.

Assuming the original coordinates of the triangle vertices are:

  • \( A(x_A, y_A) \)
  • \( B(x_B, y_B) \)
  • \( C(x_C, y_C) \)

Reflecting each point:

  • \( A' = (-x_A, -y_A) \)
  • \( B' = (-x_B, -y_B) \)
  • \( C' = (-x_C, -y_C) \)

Now, we need to analyze the given options for triangle \( A'B'C' \):

  1. Reflecting the points (outcomes):
    • If \( A(-2,1) \), then reflecting gives \( A' = (2,-1) \).
    • If \( B(-6,3) \), then reflecting gives \( B' = (6,-3) \).
    • If \( C(-1,3) \), then reflecting gives \( C' = (1,-3) \).

Now let's analyze the responses:

  1. \( A'(-2, 1), B'(-6, 3), C'(-1, 3) \)
  2. \( A'(2, 1), B'(6, 3), C'(1, 3) \)
  3. \( A'(-2, 1), B'(-1, 3), C'(-6, 3) \)
  4. \( A'(-2, -1), B'(-6, -3), C'(-1, -3) \)

The correct reflection results are not given on the list provided. The correct transformation steps lead to:

  • If the original coordinates are not listed, we specifically cannot choose. However, double-checking the transformations can lead to misreporting.

Please confirm your initial triangle coordinates for a clear choice or clarification on which transformation approach/articulation was noted for the original triangle vertices.

A is (2, -1) B is (6, -3), and C is (1, -3)

Thank you for providing the coordinates of the vertices of triangle \( ABC \):

  • \( A(2, -1) \)
  • \( B(6, -3) \)
  • \( C(1, -3) \)

Now, let's reflect triangle \( ABC \) across the x-axis and the y-axis:

  1. Reflect across the x-axis:

    • \( A(2, -1) \) becomes \( A'(2, 1) \)
    • \( B(6, -3) \) becomes \( B'(6, 3) \)
    • \( C(1, -3) \) becomes \( C'(1, 3) \)
  2. Now, reflect across the y-axis:

    • \( A'(2, 1) \) becomes \( A''(-2, 1) \)
    • \( B'(6, 3) \) becomes \( B''(-6, 3) \)
    • \( C'(1, 3) \) becomes \( C''(-1, 3) \)

The final vertices of triangle \( A'B'C' \) after reflecting across both axes are:

  • \( A''(-2, 1) \)
  • \( B''(-6, 3) \)
  • \( C''(-1, 3) \)

Thus, the answer is:

The vertices of triangle \( A'B'C' \) are \( A'(-2, 1), B'(-6, 3), C'(-1, 3) \).

This matches the response:

  • The vertices of triangle \( A'B'C' \) are \( A'(-2, 1) \), \( B'(-6, 3) \), \( C'(-1, 3) \).
