**8.03 Semester Test: Grade 8 Semester B Test - Part 1**

### Reflection over the Y-axis

Consider a triangle \( \triangle XYZ \) that is reflected across the y-axis to form \( \triangle LMN \).

### Question:
Which angle in the image corresponds to \( \angle Z \) in the pre-image?

- \( \angle L \)
- \( \angle M \)
- \( \angle N \)

### Graphical Representation:

The provided graph depicts two triangles on a coordinate plane. Here is the breakdown of the graph:

1. **Axes**:
   - The x-axis ranges from -6 to 6.
   - The y-axis ranges from -2 to 8.
   - The origin (0,0) is clearly marked where the x and y axes intersect.

2. **Triangles**:
   - \( \triangle XYZ \) (Pre-image):  
     Vertices X(4,6), Y(-2,4), Z(0,2).
   - \( \triangle LMN \) (Image): 
     Vertices L(-4,6), M(2,4), N(0,2).

   The triangles appear as reflections of each other across the y-axis. 

### Explanation:
Upon reflection across the y-axis, each vertex of the pre-image is mapped to a point with the same y-coordinate but an x-coordinate that is the opposite in sign. Consequently, we match the angles of \( \triangle XYZ \) and \( \triangle LMN \) by examining mirrored positions, leading to the matching of \( \angle Z \) from \( \triangle XYZ \) to \( \angle N \) in \( \triangle LMN \).

### Answer:
The angle in \( \triangle LMN \) that corresponds to \( \angle Z \) in \( \triangle XYZ \) is:
- \( \angle N \)
