Answer 1

Can someone explain what does it means when it says across the line y=-1?

Answer 2

well it is on the opposite side of the line and the same perpendicular distance from the line as the original point..

Answer 3

so it would be B?

Answer 4

no.(2, -4) is 3 units below the line y = -1

Answer 5

Ok so from what I read y=-1 would be a horizontal line that goes through -1

Answer 6

reflecting it means moving it to 3 units above y = -1
