To reflect a point across the y-axis, you change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.

For the point (3,4):
- The x-coordinate is 3, and when reflected across the y-axis, it becomes -3.
- The y-coordinate remains 4.

Thus, the reflected point is **(-3, 4)**.

Here are 5 related questions to further your understanding:
1. What happens when a point is reflected across the x-axis?
2. How would you reflect a point across the line \( y = x \)?
3. What are the general rules for reflecting points in the coordinate plane?
4. How do reflections relate to symmetry?
5. What is the effect of reflecting a point twice, once in the x-axis and once in the y-axis?

**Tip:** When reflecting a point across any axis, only one coordinate changes its sign, depending on the axis.
