To correct the reflection over the y-axis, the reflection should produce a mirror image of the original figure where every point (x, y) transforms to (-x, y). If the reflected figure does not appear correct, it may be because it has been improperly shifted after reflection.

Without the actual figure or description of how it appears incorrect, I can't determine the exact corrective action. However, here's how you could decide what shift to make:

  • If the entire reflected figure appears too high, you could suggest "Shift the reflected figure 1 unit down."
  • If it's positioned too low, you'd suggest "Shift the reflected figure 1 unit up."
  • If it's shifted too far to the right, you'd suggest "Shift the reflected figure 1 unit to the left."
  • Conversely, if it's too far to the left, suggest "Shift the reflected figure 1 unit to the right."

Based on the problem, it seems like there is one specific adjustment needed. If you know what the issue with the reflection is, choose the corresponding option based on the desired adjustments.
