The vertices of triangle FGH are F(1,1), G(3,-5),H(6,0). Find the coordinates of the vertices after a reflection over the y-axis.

 

The reflected points are the red ones

F'(-1,1), G'(-3,-5), H'(-6,0).

The reflection of a point over the y-axis is formed by changing the 
sign of its x-coordinate (leaving the sign of the y-coordinate as it is).
