The correct Answer is:
To find the mirror image of the point (4, -3) about the y-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Point**: The point we have is (4, -3). Here, the x-coordinate is 4 and the y-coordinate is -3. 2. **Understand the Reflection**: When reflecting a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, while the x-coordinate changes its sign. This is because the y-axis acts as a mirror. 3. **Change the Sign of the x-coordinate**: Since the x-coordinate of our point (4, -3) is positive, its mirror image will have the x-coordinate as negative. Therefore, we change 4 to -4. 4. **Keep the y-coordinate the Same**: The y-coordinate remains unchanged. Thus, it stays as -3. 5. **Write the Coordinates of the Mirror Image**: After reflecting the point (4, -3) about the y-axis, we get the new coordinates as (-4, -3). ### Final Answer: The mirror image of the point (4, -3) about the y-axis is (-4, -3). ---
