Learning to reflect a line over the y axis

The video tutorial explains how to reflect points over the Y axis in a coordinate plane. It begins by discussing the concept of reflection and how it acts like a mirror. The tutorial then explains how the X coordinate changes sign during reflection over the Y axis, while the Y coordinate remains the same. Practical examples are provided to illustrate these changes, emphasizing the importance of labeling points correctly. The tutorial concludes with a brief engagement with students, ensuring they understand the material.

What is the opposite of the coordinate point (-4, 1) when reflected over the Y axis?

Why is it important to label the new coordinates after reflection?
