The point (-5, 0) on reflection in a line is mapped as (5, 0) and the point (-2, -6) on reflection in the same line is mapped as (2, -6). (a) Name the line of reflection. (b) Write down the co-ordinates of the image of (5, -8) in the line obtained in (a).

Answer»

(a) We know that reflection in the line x = 0 is the reflection in the y-axis.

It is given that:

Point (-5, 0) on reflection in a line is mapped as (5, 0). 

Point (-2, -6) on reflection in the same line is mapped as (2, -6).

Hence, the line of reflection is x = 0. 

(b) It is known that My (x, y) = (-x, y) Co-ordinates of the image of (5, -8) in the line x = 0 are (-5, -8).
