The line of reflection is y = -x. That means in the reflection of a point (p,q) the new y value is -p.

The line of reflection is also x = -y (solve the given equation for x). That means in the reflection of a point (p,q) the new x value is -q.

So the image of a point (p,q) in a reflection in the y=-x is (-q,-p).

A(2,1) --> A' = (-1,-2)
B(2,3) --> B' = (-3,-2)
C(3,1) --> C' = (-1,-3)
