Answer:
- see below for the matrix multiplication
- graph C
Step-by-step explanation:
Reflection across the y-axis is a left-right reflection that changes only the sign of the x-coordinate. The transformation matrix (as for any rotation and/or reflection) can be 2-dimensional, and can left-multiply the coordinate matrix that has coordinate pairs as column vectors. The transformed coordinates show up as column vectors in the result matrix.
The only graphs showing left-right reflections are those of choices C and D. Only choice C has the points properly plotted on the graph.

Answer: SECOND OPTION.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following point identified as "A":
You can identify that the x-coordinate of the point is:
And its y-coordinate is:
According to the exercise, this point is translated five units right and three units down. This means that, in order to find the new coordinates, you need to add 5 to the original x-coordinate and subtract 3 from the original y-coordinate.
Therefore, you can conclude that the rule that best describe the translation of the point is the following:
→
Then, the point translated is:
→
