The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of B', the image of point B in the y-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of point B. The coordinates of point B are given as: \[ B(-4, 1) \] ### Step 2: Understand the reflection in the y-axis. When a point is reflected across the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes its sign while the y-coordinate remains the same. ### Step 3: Apply the reflection rule. For point B(-4, 1): - The x-coordinate is -4. When reflected in the y-axis, it becomes \( -(-4) = 4 \). - The y-coordinate remains the same, which is 1. ### Step 4: Write the coordinates of B'. Thus, the coordinates of B', the image of B in the y-axis, are: \[ B'(4, 1) \] ### Final Answer: The coordinates of B' are \( (4, 1) \). ---
