| 1. | Points (3, 0) and (-1, 0) are invariant points under reflection in the line L1; points (0, -3) and (0, 1) are invariant points on reflection in line L2. (i) Name or write equations for the lines L1 and L2. (ii) Write down the images of the points P (3, 4) and Q (-5, -2) on reflection in line L1. Name the images as P’ and Q’ respectively. (iii) Write down the images of P and Q on reflection in L2. Name the images as P” and Q” respectively. (iv) State or describe a single transformation that maps P’ onto P”. | 
| Answer» (i) We know that every point in a line is invariant under the reflection in the same line. Since points (3, 0) and (-1, 0) lie on the x-axis. So, (3, 0) and (-1, 0) are invariant under reflection in x-axis. Hence, the equation of line L1 is y = 0. Similarly, (0, -3) and (0, 1) are invariant under reflection in y-axis. Hence, the equation of line L2 is x = 0. (ii) P’ = Image of P (3, 4) in L1 = (3, -4) Q’ = Image of Q (-5, -2) in L1 = (-5, 2) (iii) P” = Image of P (3, 4) in L2 = (-3, 4) Q” = Image of Q (-5, -2) in L2 = (5, -2) (iv) Single transformation that maps P’ onto P” is reflection in origin. | |
