The line segment reflects across the y-axis. What are the new coordinates for the endpoints? How does the transformation affect the length of the line segment?

A)

(-4,-8) and (4,1); The transformation does not affect the length.

B)

(-4,-8) and (-4, -1); The resulting segment is longer.

C)

(4,8) and (-4,-1): The transformation does not affect the length.

D)

(4,8) and (4.1); The resulting segment is shorter.
