To find the coordinates of point X’ after reflecting point X over the y-axis, you need to change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.
If point X has coordinates (-6, 1), when reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate becomes 6 and the y-coordinate remains 1. Therefore, the new coordinates of point X’ will be (6, 1).
However, since this option is not in the provided choices, let’s examine them closely.
The correct reflection will not change the y-coordinate and only change the sign of the x-coordinate. None of these options seem to apply directly in this situation based on reflection.
If the x-coordinate was (6, -1), it would reflect to (-6, -1), and so on for the other options.
It looks like none of the provided answer choices match the expected outcome of reflecting (-6, 1) over the y-axis directly.
Could you double-check the original point or context, or if more details are available for clarity?
