Given:
Triangle ABC with vertices A (-1, 4), B( -4, 1), and C(-1, 1) is reflected across the y-axis and then translated 4 units to the left to form triangle A’B’C’.
To find:
The coordinates of the vertices of triangle A’B’C’.
Solution:
If triangle ABC reflected across y-axis, then
Coordinates of image after reflection across y-axis are
Then triangle translated 4 units to the left to form triangle A’B’C’.
Therefore, the vertices of triangle A’B’C’ are A’ (-3, 4), B’ (0, 1), C’ (-3, 1).
Hence, the correct option is B.
