Question

which image shows the preimage reflected over the y - axis?
options:
image b
none of these
image a
image c

Explanation:

To determine the reflection over the \( y \)-axis, we use the rule for reflecting a point \((x, y)\) over the \( y \)-axis: the new coordinates become \((-x, y)\). This means the preimage and its reflection over the \( y \)-axis should be symmetric with respect to the \( y \)-axis. By visually inspecting the images, Image C shows the preimage reflected over the \( y \)-axis as it exhibits the correct symmetry (points are mirrored across the \( y \)-axis).

Answer:

Image C
