11) 

A(-2, -1) ==> D(2, -1)

B(-1, -1) ==> E(1, -1)

C(-2, -5) ==> F(2, -5)

Rule (x, y) ==> (-x, y)

The above rule should be followed when reflection across y-axis.

12)  there is no reflection.

13) 

After reflection

A'(4, -1)

B'(-1, 2)

C'(3, 4)

After translation

A'(4 + 2, -1 - 1) ==> A'(6, -2)

B'(-1 + 2, 2 - 1) ==> B'(1, 1)

C'(3 + 2, 4 - 1) ==> C'(5, 3)

14) 

After reflection

A'(-4, 1)

B'(1, -2)

C'(-3, -4)

After translation

A'(-4 - 3, 1 + 1) ==> A'(-7, 2)

B'(1 - 3, -2 + 1) ==> B'(-2, -1)

6)

K (1, −1) ==> K' (-1, -1)

N (4, 0) ==> N' (-4, 0)

Q (4, −4) ==> Q' (-4, -4)
