The x's will all be the same, and the y's will be the difference between 4 & the number:

A=(2,5)
B=(0,3)
C=(5,2)

Another way to do this is to actually draw the triangle and the line y=4. This will give you a visual of what should happen.

For each point, leave x the same.
For the y-coordinate, calculate the distance between the point and the line y=4, and then apply that distance to the other side.
Example: A(2,3). y=3 is one below y=4, so you want to go one above it, to y=5. So A' is (2,5).
