Let’s solve each reflection problem one by one. We’ll find the new coordinates of each shape after reflecting it over the given line.

---

Problem 1: Reflection across line y = -x

Original points (from graph):
Looking at the green L-shape in quadrant III:
- Bottom-left corner: (-3, -4)
- Top-left corner: (-3, -2)
- Bottom-right corner: (-1, -4)

Rule for reflection over y = -x:
Swap x and y, then change both signs → (x, y) becomes (-y, -x)

Apply to each point:

- (-3, -4) → (4, 3)
- (-3, -2) → (2, 3)
- (-1, -4) → (4, 1)

So reflected points: (4,3), (2,3), (4,1)

---

Problem 2: Reflection across line y = x

Original triangle points (in quadrant II):
From graph:
- (-4, 2)
- (-2, 4)
- (0, 1)

Rule for reflection over y = x: Swap x and y → (x, y) becomes (y, x)

Apply:

- (-4, 2) → (2, -4)
- (-2, 4) → (4, -2)
- (0, 1) → (1, 0)

Reflected points: (2,-4), (4,-2), (1,0)

---

Problem 3: Reflection across line x = 1

Original rectangle points (in quadrant I):
From graph:
- (1, 2)
- (1, 4)
- (4, 4)
- (4, 2)

Rule for reflection over vertical line x = a:
New x = 2a - old x; y stays same

Here, a = 1 → new x = 2(1) - x = 2 - x

Apply:

- (1,2) → (2-1, 2) = (1,2) ← on the line, doesn’t move
- (1,4) → (1,4) ← also on the line
- (4,4) → (2-4, 4) = (-2,4)
- (4,2) → (2-4, 2) = (-2,2)

Reflected points: (1,2), (1,4), (-2,4), (-2,2)

---

Problem 4: Reflection across y-axis

Original triangle points (in quadrant I):
From graph:
- (0,1)
- (1,4)
- (5,1)

Rule for reflection over y-axis: Change sign of x → (x,y) → (-x,y)

Apply:

- (0,1) → (0,1) ← on axis
- (1,4) → (-1,4)
- (5,1) → (-5,1)

Reflected points: (0,1), (-1,4), (-5,1)

---

Problem 5: Reflection across line y = 2

Original parallelogram points (in quadrant I):
From graph:
- (1,3)
- (2,5)
- (5,5)
- (4,3)

Rule for reflection over horizontal line y = b:
New y = 2b - old y; x stays same

Here, b = 2 → new y = 4 - y

Apply:

- (1,3) → (1, 4-3) = (1,1)
- (2,5) → (2, 4-5) = (2,-1)
- (5,5) → (5, 4-5) = (5,-1)
- (4,3) → (4, 4-3) = (4,1)

Reflected points: (1,1), (2,-1), (5,-1), (4,1)

---

Problem 6: Reflection across x-axis

Original L-shape points (in quadrant IV):
From graph:
- (2,-7)
- (2,-5)
- (4,-5)
- (4,-3)
- (5,-3)
- (5,-5) — wait, let me check again from image.

Actually, looking carefully:

Points are:
- (2, -7)
- (2, -5)
- (4, -5)
- (4, -3)
- (5, -3)
- (5, -5) — but that might be duplicate? Let's list unique corners.

Better to trace the shape:

It looks like an L with these vertices:
Start at (2,-7) → up to (2,-5) → right to (4,-5) → up to (4,-3) → right to (5,-3) → down to (5,-5) → left to (4,-5)? Wait, maybe better to take outer corners.

Actually, standard way: pick all distinct vertex points.

From grid:

Bottom-left: (2, -7)
Top-left: (2, -5)
Then right to (4, -5)
Up to (4, -3)
Right to (5, -3)
Down to (5, -5) — but this is inside? Maybe it’s just 5 points?

Wait — perhaps simpler: the shape has these key points:

- (2, -7)
- (2, -5)
- (4, -5)
- (4, -3)
- (5, -3)
- (5, -5) — actually, if you connect them, (5,-5) connects back to (4,-5)? That would make a closed shape.

But for reflection, we can reflect each point.

Rule for reflection over x-axis: Change sign of y → (x,y) → (x, -y)

Apply:

- (2, -7) → (2, 7)
- (2, -5) → (2, 5)
- (4, -5) → (4, 5)
- (4, -3) → (4, 3)
- (5, -3) → (5, 3)
- (5, -5) → (5, 5)

Reflected points: (2,7), (2,5), (4,5), (4,3), (5,3), (5,5)

Now, compiling final answers for each problem as coordinate lists.

Final Answer:

1) Reflected points across y = -x: (4,3), (2,3), (4,1)
2) Reflected points across y = x: (2,-4), (4,-2), (1,0)
3) Reflected points across x = 1: (1,2), (1,4), (-2,4), (-2,2)
4) Reflected points across y-axis: (0,1), (-1,4), (-5,1)
5) Reflected points across y = 2: (1,1), (2,-1), (5,-1), (4,1)
6) Reflected points across x-axis: (2,7), (2,5), (4,5), (4,3), (5,3), (5,5)
