(3,-1)

y = -x reflection means the x and y values are flipped and are negated.

Answer:

B.
(3,-1)

Explanation:

We have been given an image of a quadrilateral. We are asked to find the coordinates of the image of vertex F after a reflection across the line
y=-x.

We know that rule of reflection across the line
y=-x is
(x,y)\rightarrow(-y,-x).

We can see that coordinates of point F are
(1,-3).

After reflecting point F across the line
y=-x, the x- and y-coordinates will interchange their place and their signs will be changed as well.


(1,-3)\rightarrow(--3,-1)=(3,-1)

Therefore, the coordinates of the image of vertex F after a reflection across the line
y=-x are
(3,-1) and option B is the correct choice.
