To find the coordinates of point D’ after reflecting over the y-axis, we need to remember that reflecting a point over the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.
If the coordinates of D’ are originally (x, y), after reflecting over the y-axis, they become (-x, y).
Given the options, we need to check each one:
1. (-2, -3): Reflects to (2, -3) – this is not an option.
2. (2, -3): Reflects to (-2, -3) – this is not an option.
3. (-2, 3): Reflects to (2, 3) – this is an option.
4. (2, 3): Reflects to (-2, 3) – this is not an option.
So, if D’ originally were (-2, 3), then after reflecting it over the y-axis, it becomes (2, 3).
Therefore, the coordinates of D’ after reflection are (2, 3).
