To find the coordinates of point C after the given transformations, we start with the original coordinates of point C, which are (3, -5).

Step 1: Translation

The translation involves moving the point 4 units left and 1 unit down.

  1. Moving 4 units left:

    • The x-coordinate decreases by 4: \( x = 3 - 4 = -1 \)
  2. Moving 1 unit down:

    • The y-coordinate decreases by 1: \( y = -5 - 1 = -6 \)

After the translation, the new coordinates of point C are: \[ (-1, -6) \]

Step 2: Reflection over the y-axis

When reflecting a point over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same.

For the point \((-1, -6)\):

  • The x-coordinate becomes: \( x = -(-1) = 1 \)

The y-coordinate remains: \( y = -6 \)

Thus, after the reflection, the coordinates of point C are: \[ (1, -6) \]

Given the answer choices: a) (-3, 2)
b) (2, 1)
c) (3, -5)
d) (-6, -2)

None of the answer choices match (1, -6). If you have additional context or constraints regarding the original point C or the transformation process, please share them!
