The point (-2, 0) on reflection in a line is mapped to (2, 0) and the point (5, -6) on reflection in the same line is mapped to (-5, -6).(i) State the name of the mirror line and write its equation. (ii) State the co-ordinates of the image of (-8, -5) in the mirror line.

Answer»

(i) We know reflection of a point (x, y) in y-axis is (-x, y). 

Hence, the point (-2, 0) when reflected in y-axis is mapped to (2, 0). 

Thus, the mirror line is the y-axis and its equation is x = 0. 

(ii) Co-ordinates of the image of (-8, -5) in the mirror line (i.e., y-axis) are (8, -5).
